which PL/SQL Procedure is running in a session (using call stack)

Hi,
I would like to know how you can see which proc is currently running in an active session.
DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK let you view the stack for the current session, but I need to view another active session.
Example :
I call a PL/SQL Proc called PA from Oracle Forms
PA runs PB, PC and finally PD.
How can I view which proc is currently running for this session ?
I mean if PB is currently running, how can I view that PB is running ?
I can only view current statement of the "frmweb" session, which is a query, but if I have 5 procs to run, I don't want to look for this query in all procs.
Thx

npragout wrote:Doubt that you can from one session, query another session's PL/SQL stack. Reason: the PL/SQL stack resides in the PGA (Private Global Area) memory of a session. As the name indicates, this is private memory of that session - and is not visible and cannot be queried by another session.
How can I view which proc is currently running for this session ?
Other sessions can only see that which a session makes sharable - i.e. that which resides in the SGA or UGA.I mean if PB is currently running, how can I view that PB is running ?You can have the PL/SQL code use [DBMS_APPLICACTION_INFO|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_appinf.htm] - and have it record the current active PL/SQL module/package. -
Thanks a lot !
With DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO, I can easily see which procedure is running ... -
if you have you answer, mark the question as such... then everybody knows that this question is answered and can move on answering other questions
