   In second batch file, find the name of i

   In a called batch file, I would like to determine the name (as in %~n0) of the   
   batch file which called itme, but without passing this name as a parameter.   
   Is this possible?   
   In second batch file,   
   I've done some searching in this group but can only find the suggestion to   
   give the name of the calling batch file as a parameter.   
      
   Trivial example:   
      
   :: Caller.bat   
   call called.bat   
   exit /b   
      
   :: Called.bat   
   :: some code to find the name of the calling batch file   
   echo Called.bat was called by %name-of-caller%   
   goto :eof
