Can PL/SQL procedure in Oracle know it\'s own name?

Let me explain:

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure some_procedure is
    v_procedure_name varchar2(32);

Answer 1

Here's a neat function that takes advantage of REGEXP_SUBSTR. I've tested it in a package (and it even works if another procedure in the package calls it):

FUNCTION SET_PROC RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
  RETURN NVL(REGEXP_SUBSTR(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK, 
             'procedure.+\.(.+)\s', 1,1,'i',1), 'UNDEFINED');
END SET_PROC;
