Tracy:

One last idea, use the MPE intrinsic "procinfo" using you current pin 
number and in return it will provide you with the pin of the calling 
process.  Use this new pin to get the name of the program file name.

I am not sure that it will get you the name of the subprogram or only 
the "CI" pin.  Give it a try and let me know how it works out.  I have 
not tried it myself recently, and I do not remember if it work a decade ago.

I do know that what you want can be done in PRIV mode because I did so 
more than 20 years ago, but without PRIV mode .....

Olav.
