Obtain the Name of a Variable in Execution Time

Hi all,

I'm a developer of COBOL and I need know if the following it's possible from COBOL.

I need obtain the name of a variable during the execution of a program. For example:

01 VAR pic X(10).

When the program runs.....

if I make reference to this variable I need that this unknown fucntion returns me the name of the variable, not the content or the memory position, I need the name (VAR) in a string.

It's posible?

Thanks in advance.
