You could call the other form with "thisform" from main form. So called form would have access to PEM of caller.

* Main form some method
do form child with thisform

*Child.init
lparameters oCaller
thisform.oCaller = oCaller

* Child any PEM
this.value = thisform.oCaller.clientID.value && get caller's textbox.value
acopy(this.aCustom, thisform.oCaller.aCaller) && Copy array from caller
thisform.oCaller.refresh() && Refresh caller
thisform.oCaller.anyPEM && Access to caller's PEM
