Name of ‘Self’ object in Business Objects

can anyone tell me if it’s possible to get the name of a variable/object from within the object itself. For example I can get the name of a variable called “Totals” by using the function NameOf([Totals]) but is it possible to call that function from within the variable code itself using something like NameOf(Self). Needless to say I’ve tried all ‘obvious’ combinations but can’t seem to get it working. Any ideas out there on how to do this or is it even possible in BO? Thank you for any help.
