At the moment when an exception occurs on the server I pass back two
variables to my client - the error code and the message. I also want to pass
back the name of the procedure which caused the exception. Is this possible
other than using a string and setting the name in code?

If you look at the way TComObject implements SafeCallException it sets
up an IErrorInfo object. There are a couple of hooks into this process
that you could use or you could just override SafeCallException and do
the whole thing yourself.
You can use one of the exception tracking utilities around (We use the
JCL) to get the procedure where the exception occurred and add it to the
IErrorInfo object.
You then have to handle this on the client and extract the information
you want from the IErrorInfo object there.

information. Then use the functions in JclDebug.pas
(www.delphi-jedi.org, Jedi Code Library) to unwind the stack and find
out where the exception was raised. You can also use commercial tools
like Exception Magic etc. to get call stack information.
This is definitely not for production code, of course.
