Has Procedure been updated correctly

Question

I have been developing a module for us to handover and version database procedures/functions for more control.
However I now want to check that once the script has ran to recreate/replace the procedure it has been successfull. Does anyone know a way to do this as I am using a host command from forms to run a pl/sql script ( so the correct owner is creating the procedure) but cannot get errors back from the host command. Thought about checking the last_ddl_time of the object on all_objects, but this is causing problems.
thanks

This is where it gets complicated.
We have a handover module that is always accessed through our live server/database. This module at the moment transfers files from client to ias and versions them for development. It also handovers to the live area and recompiles against live databases.
This is being expanded on to include procedures/functions.
We will user the module throught the live area and choose which database to create the procedure on (lets say development) The module then uses the
following commands to create the selected procedure in the correct area
HOST ('sqlplus -s '||V_USER||'/'||V_PASS||'@'||V_CONNECT||' @'||V_AREA||'/'||:BL_PROCEDURE.NBT_PROC_NAME||'.proc;', NO_SCREEN);
HOST ('sqlplus -s '||V_USER||'/'||V_PASS||'@'||V_CONNECT||' @'||V_AREA||'/COM_GRANT_PROCEDURES '||:BL_PROCEDURE.NBT_PROC_NAME||' '||V_CONNECT||';', NO_SCREEN);
the first script is the actual create or replace script for the procedure ( the file we version)
the second one creates synonym and grants for the procedure.
If this is an amendment to a procedure rather than a new procedure I do not know how to check if the changes have been applied, ie the 2 scripts have run successfully from within the form.
I cannot update a table from the script as the script is connected to the development database, we are logged into live when the host command is finished so I cannot check the table ( we have no database link set up and would not be able due to policy)
Hope that explains it better
