Hi!

yes.. the following properties are set in the context of the called TestCase;

(excerpt from java code)

properties.put( "#CallingRunTestCaseStep#", this );
properties.put( "#CallingTestCaseRunner#", testRunner );
properties.put( "#CallingTestRunContext#", testRunContext );

so in your target testcase you can do

// running from a run testcase?
if( context.getPropertyValue( "#CallingTestCaseRunner#" ) != null )
{
  ...
}

hope this helps!
