Access SYS procedure from dba user

[thomgreen]

Using the the code at the bottom to build a procedure in sys, I ran into an unexpected issue. When I attempt to execute the following it does not work even though I granted Public and created a Public synonym:
exec CHG_COLNM('BDOPS','BUG','DEBUG_STR','BUGS');

The following ERRORS:
BEGIN CHG_COLNM('BDOPS','BUG','DEBUG_STR','BUGS'); END;

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00905: object BDOPS.CHG_COLNM is invalid
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Although the procedure works fine when I assign the owner SYS:
exec sys.CHG_COLNM('BDOPS','BUG','DEBUG_STR','BUGS');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Why can't I call this procedure without indicated the schema owner? It has a Public Grant and Synonym.

CREATE OR REPLACE
procedure SYS.chg_colnm(
user in varchar2, -- name of the schema.
table_name in varchar2, -- name of the table.
old_name in varchar2, -- name of the column to be renamed.
new_name in varchar2 -- new name of the column.
) as
id number;
col_id number;

select object_id into id from dba_objects where
object_name=UPPER(table_name)
and owner=UPPER(user) and object_type='TABLE';
select col# into col_id from col$ where obj#=id and
name=UPPER(old_name);
dbms_output.put_line(col_id);
update col$ set name=UPPER(new_name)
where obj#=id and col#=col_id;
commit;

DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_name1);
cursor_name2:= DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cursor_name2, 'ALTER SYSTEM

ret2:= DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cursor_name2);
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_name2);
end;

-- Grants for CHG_COLNM

GRANT EXECUTE ON sys.chg_colnm TO public
/

-- Synonym CHG_COLNM

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM chg_colnm
FOR sys.chg_colnm

Obviously you have a procedure named CHG_COLNM also in schema BDOPS, not only in schema SYS. You can verify this by:
SELECT * FROM DBA_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'CHG_COLNM';

And that procedure in schema BDOBS is obviously invalid. Plus you abviously are calling this procedure logged as user BDOBS or your public synonym is pointing to that procedure in schema BDOBS or you have a private synonym pointing there.
