I would say that the best way is in its coding typically by adding calls to dbms_application_info - which is great way of tying SQL to its owning PL/SQL as well.

You might be lucky to catch it in sql_address in v$session (depending on what its actually doing at the time). Similarly, you could possibly glean some info from V$SQL via USERS_EXECUTING

You could always try modify the proc which would probably hang on library cache pin or similar - hardly a recommended way of course :-)
