Send a report, but change the filename according to caller

My customers has grown tired by the filename 'Axapta report' in class Info -> method reportsend().
I need to change the filename to the name of the caller. But how do I find the caller in class Info -> Method reportsend() ?

Let's see if it works this time.... (it's only the SIXTH time that I try to post this answer :( )

There seems to be no way to get a reference to the ReportRun object; the method PrintJobSettings.ReportRun always seems to return null in reportSendMail.
You could set a property of PrintJobSettings in your report and use that to fill the filename.
Another possible solution (no guarantees) is the following:

Add the following to infolog.reportSendMail:

if (globalCache.isSet(curuserid(),classidget(p1)))
    {
        fileName = globalCache.get(curuserid(),classidget(p1));
        globalCache.remove(curuserid(),classidget(p1));
    }



And to the method SysReportRun.print add the next code (before calling super).

SysGlobalCache  globalCache = infolog.globalCache();
    ;
    if (this.printJobSettings().getTarget() == PrintMedium::Mail)
    {
        globalCache.set(curuserid(),classidget(this.printJobSettings()),this.title());
    }
