In using the MR Internal variables in included Focus Executables, can they be made to report values from the calling FEX and not the FEX they are listed in?

Example:
-* Program: master.fex
-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE CHILD
-* end master.fex



-* Program: child.fex
-TYPE &MR_FULL_FEXNAME
-* end child.fex


The above should report 'child.fex'. How can I make it report 'master.fex'? Any code additions would have to go into 'child.fex'.

I think I know the answer to this, but I'm hoping someone has some insight I may have missed.

THANKS!

Try the &FOCFOCEXEC variable.

parent.fex (In an MRE domain):
-TYPE ====== INSIDE PARENT.FEX
-? &

-INCLUDE CHILD.FEX


child.fex (in a folder in the App Path):
-TYPE ====== INSIDE CHILD.FEX
-? &


The &FOCFOCEXEC should be the name of the parent fex. Unfortunately, there is an underscore prepending the name, and I'm not sure what happens to file names of 8 characters.
