If you are using sql2k go to Query Analyzer drill down to the stored procedures right click on one and choose debug.

You can return a message using RAISERROR (preferred) or PRINT. You can use WAITFOR to pause execution of the sproc, but there's very little point in doing so. The user will not see the error message until the sproc completes execution, nor can they interrupt the sproc even if it is paused. Such a feature must reside in the user interface, not the database code.

RAISERROR, PRINT and WAITFOR are documented in Books Online.

Well you must use SQL2k in order to have this feature. From Query Analyzer, just hit F8. Now go to the object browser that was just opened and follow ValterBorges' instructions.
