yes, e.g.:
Title2 'MyProgram';

that depends on
1. how smart the programmer is
and
2. where you want the information.
in my work I differentiate my log notes with integer suffixes
which indicate level the program identification:
%Put Note1: module MyModule ending;
%Put Note2: routine MyRoutine ending;
%Put Note3: subroutine MySubroutine ending;
