The entry of the currently running frame is returned by the function
ScreenName().

  lib = scan (ScreenName(),1,'.');
  libmem = lib || '.' || scan (ScreenName(),2,'.');

You can also get the lib&cat from the frames instance variable _LIBCAT_.

  libcat = getNitemC (_frame_, 'LIBCAT');

Be sure to search support.sas.com for "PMENU", there are some usage notes
regarding setting the pmenu programatically.
