Oracle 7.2 Stored Procedures and Result Sets

I heard some conflicting information regarding which version of Oracle would support Result sets in Stored Procedures.

For example I could say something like

   select s,b,c from table_xyz

without the "into " clause. Then when I run the SP, it would return all records. Sybase and MS SQLServer have supported something like this for a while and depending on who I talk to, I hear Oracle 7.2, 7.3 or 8.0 will support this type of feature. Can anyone shed any light on this.

I hope someone will be able to give me some accurate information and maybe an example or two if it is possible in 7.2

Thank you,
