Get Current vi Name

[yoyotweak]

I'm making a generic error handler that I will use in many sub VI's.

Is there a way to programatically get the name of any sub VI that I
put my error handler into?

Thanks!

Bill,
This is certainly possible. The function you are looking for is
Call Chain in the Application Control subpallette.
If you want an example of how that can be parsed and used, I did
something very similar to what you suggest. You can download it from my
website if you want to take a look. There is a VI called Error Cluster
Generator.vi within the UtilityVIs.llb.

David,

Thanks for the link. It's exactly what I've been looking for.

I was looking at you code, and I can't figure out why you have a for
loop with an undefined "N" count?

Thanks!

To oaraohrase David, there are 10 ways to specify how many times a for loop executes. Wire a number to the "N" terminal, or input an array - the autoindexing feature of a for loop executes array size times.
