I'd guess program(program(-1)-1) to be faster and to show less variation of runtime depending on stack level. When debugging or logging program state in depth: after astackinfo() you can obtain more info with ease as structure has been filled - but if you are after simple "who called me" info mentioned in yourOP to log semi automatically always hooked into your SQL operations I'd opt for function(s) call I guess to fulfill needs more KISS than others, here program(program(-1)-1).

A follow-up question please. So far, my test shows that program(program(-1)-1) will give what I am looking for.
Since I write this value to a log file, I want to be sure that it is always a string, not a numeric value. Can you think of a case where program(program(-1)-1) will give a numeric value?
Thanks.
