RPG program to retrieve the current job call stack

Retrieve the Jobs Program Call Stack – RPGLE Example

The RPG IV provided in this tip uses a simpler method to provide this function.

The program sends messages up the call stack one at a time (to a maximum of 10 entries) until the top is reached. For each send, a retrieve is also performed and the receiving program name is captured. The program has three parameters: PStack (call stack returned), PStartPoint (relative starting point), and PEntries (number of entries returned).

When you call the program, set the PStartPoint parameter to the call stack entry at which you want to start. Entries are returned starting with the latest entry in the first array element. You can easily modify the program to include more or fewer call stack entries.

  • Hi Nick,
    Trying to get into the API world. Like the pgm for call stack. I wrote a CL to traverse up the call stack using SNDPGMMSG. I use it in my trigger pgm to see who fired the trigger. It works really well except for the embedded SQL updates. I get an error.
    CPF2479
    Message . . . . : Call stack entry not found.
    Cause . . . . . : Call stack entry QSQRUN3, specified for the send, receive,
    move or delete message operation, could not be found in the call stack.

    1. Does your pgm work on embedded SQL updates?

    2. IBM suggested I use the QWVRCSTK API to work the call stack but it is fairly complicated to figure out. Have you ever used it?
