Problem with DBMS_SQL.PARSE when called from Repots2.5

I am trying to run the following PL/SQL code from the Reports2.5 :

---

function BeforeReport return boolean is
...
...

  cursor_handle INTEGER;
  exec_var INTEGER;
...

begin
..

 cursor_handle := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
  DBMS_SQL.PARSE
    (cursor_handle, 'SELECT 2+2 from DUAL' , DBMS_SQL.V7);                            

  exec_var := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE (cursor_handle);   DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_handle);
..

  return (TRUE);
end;

---

and I am getting the following error message: "component V7 must be declare".
(cursor stops at DBMS_SQL.V7 as marked "^^^") and fails to compile.

                                            ^^^

But when I compile/run a very similar code from Procedure Builder or SQL> prompt it works just fine. Any remedies or hints?

Thanks,
