Notes

The FRAME-NAME function returns an empty string for a frame that has not been named (the default frame). It also returns an empty string if the cursor is in a field that is not enabled for input.

When using the FRAME-NAME function, you must place it logically following the Frame phrase where it is named.

FRAME-NAME is especially useful for context-sensitive help.
