Description

The PROGRAM() function returns the name of the currently executing program or procedure. The name is returned as a character string in upper case without path or file extension.

<expN> Specifying the optional <expN> causes PROGRAM() to return the name of the procedure or program at the <expN> level. If there is no program or procedure at the specified level, an empty string is returned. The name of the master or starting program is returned if <expN> is 0 or 1.

m_program = program()
