SQL owa_util.get_procedure and $$PLSQL_UNIT
Build a generic PL/SQL exception handler using `owa_util.get_procedure` to easily identify the source of an error in your Oracle code.

In 10g and 11g I use the “owa_util.get_procedure” function. I normally use this in packages as it will also return the name of an internal procedure or function as part of the package name, i.e. (package_name).(procedure name). I use this to provide a generic EXCEPTION template for identifying where an exception occurred.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure some_procedure is
v_procedure_name varchar2(32);
begin
v_procedure_name := owa_util.get_procedure;
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE some_package
AS
FUNCTION v_function_name
RETURN DATE;
END;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY some_package
AS
FUNCTION v_function_name
RETURN DATE
IS
BEGIN
RETURN SYSDATE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ERROR IN '||owa_util.get_procedure);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLERRM);
END;
END;
