roles are never enabled during the execution of a procedure (with the exception of some invokers rights routines -- new feature in Oracle8i, release 8.1).
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 won't be able to do it in a procedure.
You probably have the privelege to do what you are trying to do in the procedure via a role. Grant the privelege directly to the owner of the procedure and it'll work.
