Problem with Table Function in ver. 8.1.7.0

Question

Hello,
I have a Problem using a Table Function in Oracle version 8.1.7.0:
type TTest_Object is Object
MSG_TRACKID VARCHAR2(25)
type TTest_Table is Table of TTest_Object;
function Test_Function return TTest_Table is
Result TTest_Table;
TmpObj TTest_Object := TTest_Object( null );
begin
TmpObj.MSG_TRACKID := '00001';
Result := TTest_Table( TmpObj );
return(Result);
end Test_Function;
when i do:
declare
Type TTmpRecord is Record (MSG_TRACKID varchar2(25));
Type TC is Ref Cursor Return TTmpRecord;
C1 TC;
TmpObj VarChar2(25);
TmpTable TTest_Table;
begin
TmpTable := Test_Function;
open C1 for Select * FROM TABLE(CAST(TmpTable as TTest_Table));
loop
fetch C1 into TmpObj;
exit when C1%notfound;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TmpObj);
end loop;
close C1;
end;
it works fine!
but, when i do:
"Select * From TABLE(CAST(Test_Function as TTest_Table))"
i get a: "ORA-000904: Invalid Column Name"
if i do the Select in version 8.1.7.4 it works fine...
does anyone know a work around in version 8.1.7.0?
