The easiest way is to predefine an error number (or numbers) which you would use in the RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR call. In the EXCEPTION block you can now check if the error number is one of the predefined errors and do proper action. If it's not let it to fall to WHEN OTHERS section.

The error numbers could be predefined for example in a package header.
