The name of the parameter list is known only to the calling program. The called program gets the values from its (local to it) parameters. What comes to mind is to add one more parameter to the list 'CALLED_BY', that is populated appropriately from each caller.

There is a :SYSTEM parameter that returns the form that called/opened a form, but it might depend on how it was opened. (It might be a GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY...) Dan Hekimian-WIlliams Received on Tue Oct 12 1999 - 03:26:47 CEST
