PL/SQL & Analyze/validate

I have been building a PL/SQL block to run an 'analyze table validate structure cascade' against a subset of tables in one schema of our database
(8.1.7 - daily backup copy of production). I've initially set this up to
use OPEN_CURSOR . . . PARSE . . . EXECUTE, but was looking for a prepackaged procedure to perform this step. After searching the PL/SQL ref guide, dbms_utility.analyze_part_object appears to be closest but is valid for partitioned objects only. Am I out of luck, or am I looking in the wrong place.

BTW, this is a corrupt block detection routine which needs to run in pieces as the production copy is refreshed each night. Running against all tables in the main schema would require at least 3 days. Also feel free to remind me that Export to /dev/null is an adequate test, and maybe I'll believe it this time ;)
