Stored procedure

Hi I am used to creating stored procedure with sql server and i am now using an oracle DB. I used to used
[code]
SELECT c.name
FROM sysobjects o
INNER JOIN syscolumns c ON o.id = c.id
WHERE o.name = TBLNAME;
[code]
To return colum names of a given table from the DB but when i put my table name in i get the error table or view does not exist when the table does exist.
Sorry this maybe a really simple question. If you can't do it this way can anyone enlighten me on another way to retreive the colum names

SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM ALL_COL_COMMENTS WHERE TABLE_NAME = tblname as it is in the DB;

re: Stored procedure

you need to use the dictionaly object USER_TAB_COLS for all that information in oracle.
