How to obtain the name of the current routine? [message #93420]

Dear all,

I'd like to write the routine name to the output file as header information. Is there a way to get the name of the running routine automatically when it is executed? For example,

pro test1

name_of_routine = get_the_current_routine_name()
; the above function will make
; name_of_routine = 'test1'

end

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Yunfeng Tian

check out "cgwhoami" from the Coyote IDL library

if you haven't loaded coyote library, this will do too:
> help, /traceback, out=out
> name_of_routine=(out[0].split(' '))[2]
if you want to encapsulate it into a function, you'd have to use out[1]

The easiest way would be to use the scope_traceback function like this:

pro test
scope = scope_traceback(/structure)

print, scope, /implied_print
end

The last element of the scope variable will contain information regarding the routine you are in. I use scope_traceback to determine the location of my functions or procedures that are being executed. Here is a link to the docs:
