No Oracle8 does no more than Oracle7.

Both Oracle 7 and 8 can return PL/SQL tables of records, but your client
side application has to be able to read them, many 3rd party tools are
starting to support PL/SQL tables, but ODBC is unable to retrieve them. If
you are writing your own applications in Pro*C++, OCI or Object for OLE
then this interface if fully exposed.

It looks very unlikly that Oracle 8.1+ will support RETURNING results of
records because of ANSI restrictions and the existing mechanism is
available.
