SET ROLE in PL/SQL

[Quoted] [Quoted] We have not had any success with trying to execute the SQL command:

[Quoted]           SET ROLE ThisRole IDENTIFIED BY ThisPassword; using dynamic SQL in either an anonymous PL/SQL block or in a stored procedure.

Can this be done? If not, is there an explanation as to why this is not permitted?
