Which parent batch file called another batch file?

[gchampoux]

I have a particular utility batch file (A) that is called from several other "parent" batch files (B,C,D).

I would like batch file A to determine which parent (B-D) it was called from.

Is this possible without passing an argument?

You could also set an environment variable in parent and check the value of it.

My goal is to avoid editing the parent batch files.
