Determine What is Calling my Subroutine

[Bill]

I've got a subroutine, defined as Private, takes two parameters, that is
called lots of times from different ASP scripts. I need specific error
handling when it is called from only one particular section of my code - and
from the page it's called from, it's called multiple times from there, too,
so I can't check by page.

I thought about adding an additional parameter, but it's called so many
times that it would be unwieldy to do so.

Is there a way I can tell a Private Subroutine what piece of code called it?

No. You'll have to add the extra parameter.

No, but you can put some error trapping in the sub to perhaps give you an
idea:

sub whatever(x,y)
on error resume next
your code
If err.number <> 0 Then
response.write "An error occurred. Here are the argument values that
were passed.<br>"
response.write x & "<br>"
response.write y
response.end
End If

End Sub

No. You'll have to add the extra parameter.

Or, create a second subroutine, which calls the first *and* does the
logging, and change only those calls where you want the different behavior.
Might save a bit of work...
