Unable to insert row in object table from plsql block

Question

I have table called test based on an object type. When I issue an insert statement from sqlplus, the row is inserted. The exact same sql statement in a plsql block gives the error below. Any ideas? (it is not a constraint problem).
SQL> insert into test values( 3,2,1,1,'asp',1,'mach' );
1 row created.
SQL> begin
2 insert into test values( 3,2,1,1,'asp',1,'mach' );
3 end;
4 /
insert into test values( 3,2,1,1,'asp',1,'mach' );
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 16:
PL/SQL: ORA-06552: PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
ORA-06553: PLS-302: component 'DOCUMENT' must be declared

Hi Adam
You need to instantiate your object type in your insert statement(while doing through PL/SQL block), so try like this
Insert into test values(document(1,2,'CO',55,'xyz','kkk','PENTIUM'));
The reason you were successful through SQLPLUS was that, SQLPLUS automatically instantiate the values into object type.
