You can use SQLERRM function :
SQL> create or replace procedure procerr
  2  is
  3     n number;
  4  begin
  5     n := 1/0;
  6* end;
SQL> /
Procedure created.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
  2     err1    varchar2(200);
  3  begin
  4     procerr;
  5  exception
  6     when others then
  7             err1 := SQLERRM;
  8             dbms_output.put_line(err1);
  9* end;
SQL> /
ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
