If the title of your button (not the name of the object) is 3P, then 
clicking it will make the value of info("Trigger") equal to

Button.3P

and you can use

Case info("Trigger") ENDSWITH "P"

or you can use

Case info("Trigger") ENDSWITH "3P"

or

Case info("Trigger") ENDSWITH ".3P"

and they should all work just fine, because all of those conditions 
are true, but if you write

Case info("Trigger") ENDSWITH "Button."

it will skip right over that case, because the condition is false. It 
doesn't end with Button. It begins with it. If the button doesn't 
have any title at all, there won't be anything after the dot, and you 
will be able to use either

Case info("Trigger") ENDSWITH "Button."

or

Case info("Trigger") BEGINSWITH "Button."

and both conditions will be true.
