How to get the app in use

Hello

I wish to write a script able to paste the dateTime in several documents (Pages, Numbers, TextEdit, Mail).

I am able to do that when I know the name of the application owning the destination document.

Is there a way for a script to get the name of the application whose document is at front when I enter the System's Scripts menu?

At this time, I am able to get
-- the app which is the frontmost one: it's the script itself
-- the list of every active application processes

both of them are useless.
