An alternative approach is the SCOPE_TRACEBACK function, which is part
of IDL:

IDL> info=scope_traceback(/structure)
IDL> n=n_elements(info)
IDL> help,info[n-1],/structure
** Structure IDL_TRACEBACK, 8 tags, length=36, data length=36:
ROUTINE STRING 'DISPLAY'
FILENAME STRING 'C:\my_routines\display.pro'
LINE LONG 99
LEVEL LONG 1
IS_FUNCTION BYTE 0
METHOD BYTE 0
RESTORED BYTE 0
SYSTEM BYTE 0
IDL> print,'Routine name is: '+info[n-1].routine
Routine name is: DISPLAY
