dbms_sql.desc_rec type

I use the following code in 8i to return a column header for free form queries supplied to a stored proc. I just found out that it doesn't work for 7.3.4. Is there any work-around for this functionallity?

function ShowColName(rec in dbms_sql.desc_rec) return varchar2 is begin
  return rec.col_name ;
end;

Thanks.
