roles are never enabled during the execution of a procedure.

Try this:

SQL> set role none;
SQL> "statement you want to test to see if it'll work in a procedure"

If you can do it in plus with no roles you can do it in a procedure. If you can't, you must have the privelege from a role and hence dbms_sql won't be able to do it either.

You probably have the privelege to do what you are trying to do in dbms_sql via a role. Grant the privelege directly to the owner of the procedure and it'll work.
