Problem with utl_file

I'm experimenting with file I/O from within PL/SQL. I try to run this in SQL*Plus

declare

   type file_type is record (id binary_integer);    myfile file_type;
begin

   myfile := utl_file.fopen('C:\temp\','out.txt', 'w');    utl_file.put_line(myfile, 'aaaa');
   utl_file.fclose(myfile);
end;
/

but I get the line

myfile := utl_file.fopen('C:\temp\','out.txt', 'w');

and a ORA-06550 followed by PLS-00382 (invalid type) along with some additional errors. According to the documentation, I'm doing things right. Can anyone tell me what I do wrong? Oh, I better say that I am, of course, trying this on an Oracle7.3.

Thanks in advance
