Determining the name of a referencing macro?

Determining the name of a referencing macro?

Determining the name of a referencing macro?

(OP)
When calling a macro from within another macro is it possible to determine the name of the first from the second macro?

When your running macro B from macro A, is it possible to find the name of macro A?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Determining the name of a referencing macro?

Not that I am aware of. You could pass a variable to the subroutine indicating where it's being called from if you really need it.

Thanks, I knew that, but I would like to get rid of the parameters... just to save me a lot of extra code
