[GENERAL] How to get an exception detail in a function called in exception handler

Hello,
I am porting Oracle to PostgreSQL.
In oracle sqlcode and sqlerrm can be accessed in a function called from an exception block.
How do I do this in PostgreSQL
For example:
How do I get exception details in function "myschema"."testerror" () in function "myschema"."logerror"().
I understand that GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS does not work here, but is there any way to achieve this?
This is a function that will always generate an error (since columnName does not exist in table)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "myschema"."testerror" ()
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE
BEGIN
-- source data
select sirv.columnName
from "myschema"."tableName" sirv;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- log exception details like SQLERRM, SQLSTATE from function "myschema"."logerror"()
PERFORM "myschema"."logerror"();
END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "myschema"."logerror" ()
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE
the_sqlcode int := 0;
the_sqlerrormessage varchar ;
BEGIN
GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS the_sqlerrormessage = MESSAGE_TEXT,
the_sqlcode = RETURNED_SQLSTATE,
INSERT into "myschema"."error_trace"(
errorCode,
error_messaage)
VALUES (
the_sqlcode,
the_sqlerrormessage);
END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Thanks,

In PG those are local variables within an exception block. You'd have to
pass their values to the error-logging function explicitly.

Thanks for the reply Tom!
The log_error_function is being called by thousands of functions and that is why I thought it would be great if there was a way without making changes to it and subsequently writing code to pass the parameters in all these exception block.
Would have been awesome if error logging function could get the previous exception details somehow.
Thanks,
