Richard has shown how to get the LIBNAME for the currently executing FRAME.
You can also get the LIBNAME , used to launch the AF application, from the
local environment SCL list:

   libname=getnitemc(getniteml(envlist('L'),'_CMDLIST_'),'LIBNAME');

and then assign the PMENU programmatically:

   _frame_.pmenuEntry=libname || '.<catalogName>.<entryName>.pmenu';

Subject: PMENU reference / get libname in which catalog resides


In SAS/AF, I have created a frame which has a menu referenced by the
pmenuEntry attribute.  The problem is, when I move the catalog in which the
frame is stored to a new sas library, the pmenu reference still points to
the old libname.  Is there a quick way to get around this?  My thought is
that I will have to programmatically set the pmenu reference, which will
involve first obtaining the libname in which the catalog currently exists,
which is what I am not sure how to do.  So my question is:

How can I programmatically obtain (into an SCL variable, say) the libname in
which a SAS catalog entry resides?
