When the aix date function is called by a routine, is the date function 'aware' of the routine that is calling it, such that if we had the source code of the date function, we could modify it such that it provides a date depending upon who is calling. This would enhance our testing ability of particular functions without disrupting the rest of a test system.

No.
Debuggers can read the stack, and symbol information to help with debugging, but to actually write all that into the code as well would be no small task.

Do you have the source code, or is this some academic exercise?
