Builtin function returning the main program name

Similarly to the existing built-in functions PROCEDURENAME and PACKAGENAME, we would like to be able to retrieve the name of the main program from any statically or dynamically called routine in the call chain.

    We would find it usefull to know all PL/I-names in the call chain (like PLIDUMP), not only the one of the main program.

    The Main of the LE encalve ?
    The Main of the LE nested enclave ?
    even if it is (LE) Assembler or other languages ?
    I think without the system or subsystem main's ? (IKJEFT.., DFSR.., BTS...)

    Not that easy from my side....
