If I understand what you want, how about Ada.Command_Line.Command_Name

  Does Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Information do what you want?

with ada.exceptions;
with text_io;
procedure test is

  bang:exception;

  procedure badguy is
  begin raise bang; end badguy;

begin

  badguy;

exception
  when oops:bang =>
    text_io.put("egad:"
                & ada.exceptions.exception_information(oops)
                & ", whew");
end test;

  produces:

egad:TEST.BANG
   On Line Number 8 In TEST.BADGUY
Called from line number 12 In TEST
, whew
