Procedure created for OLS table update

Question

I have created the following procedure in ( PL/SQL )that will insert rows into a table - in addition to the rowlabel. It inserts the rows correctly when I use the 'label_to_char' function in the procedure, however my users cannot see the data that they have access to until they manually insert a row into the table themselves.
I have changed the procedure using the 'to_data_label' function to see if that might work. I get an invalid column error when the procedure gets executed. However, when I do a manual insert using the to_data_label function for only one row, it does work.
I also have tried aliasing the rowlabel row, and it still does not work. Here is my procedure:
(I am new to creating procedures, so it may be something in the way it is written.)
create or replace procedure insert_comps(v_tag number,
v_short varchar2,
v_long varchar2,
v_parent varchar2,
v_row varchar2 default null)
is
v_rl varchar2(60) := 'TS:';
begin
if v_row is null then
if v_short != v_parent then
v_rl := v_rl||v_parent||','||v_short;
elsif v_parent = v_short then
v_rl := v_rl||v_short;
end if;
else
v_rl := v_row;
end if;
insert into policy_compartments(
rowlabel,
short_name,
long_name,
tag,
parent)
values(to_data_label('BBORDER',v_rl),
v_short,
v_long,
v_tag,
v_parent);
end insert_comps;
Are there any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Christine
