Try System.Environment.Last_Exception

This is documented in the latest HP Alsys release notes.  Not
sure about the version number.

There is a solution which I got from customer support, so I forwarded your
message to them.

This feature is standard in 5.5.3, why don't you use 5.5.3 before you are
2 releases behind one of these weeks ?

No. What would you like to do inthere ?

If you just want visibility, 5.5.3 has a binder option (which can also be
triggered dynamically, but that's "secret"), to give you an Ada level
stack trace (like the one 5.5.2 gives for unhandled exceptions that
terminate the environment task) for handled exceptions and exceptions
terminating a task.
