I have been building a PL/SQL block to run an 'analyze table validate
structure cascade' against a subset of tables in one schema of our database
(8.1.7 - daily backup copy of production).  I've initially set this up to
use OPEN_CURSOR . . . PARSE . . . EXECUTE, but was looking for a prepackaged
procedure to perform this step.  After searching the PL/SQL ref guide,
dbms_utility.analyze_part_object appears to be closest but is valid for
partitioned objects only.  Am I out of luck, or am I looking in the wrong
place.

BTW, this is a corrupt block detection routine which needs to run in pieces
as the production copy is refreshed each night.  Running against all tables
in the main schema would require at least 3 days.  Also feel free to remind
me that Export to /dev/null is an adequate test, and maybe I'll believe it
this time ;)
