Create table statement in stored procedures

Question

Hi,
I am including the following statement in a stored procedure and receive the following error:
STATEMENT:
create table wrk_date (date date,
qty smallint)
tablespace temptabs;
ERROR:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE" when expecting one of the following:
begin declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise
return select update while <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql commit <a single-quoted SQL string>
Is this statement not allowed or is there a possible syntax error above?
I am using Oracle database version 8.0.5.
Thanks.

Jimmy - You might want to buy the Following book from Oreilley Press Oracle Built in Pacakages it's very very good and came in handy when I has to write dynamic SQL (DBMS_SQL package).
You might want to try www.bookpool.com which has technical books cheaper than amazon.
Hope this helps.
