How are you executing the command. Are you using execute immediate or did you just code the statement like a line f pl/sql code, which would be illegal syntax. DDL and session alterration has to be done using dynamic SQL (execute immediate or dbms_sql package) or via a packaged call such as dbms_session.set_role.

I hope this helps.
