PARALLEL hint ignored in PL/SQL block?

Hi

When following DML is executed standalone

Insert into tableA select /*+ parallel(B) parallel(C) */ * from tableB@link B, 
tableC@link C where <some conditions>;

tableB and tableC are accessed in parallel and everything is fine.

However, if this is executed within PL/SQL block (or within stored procedure), 
tableB and tableC are not accessed in parallel. What may be the reason for this 
behavior? My goal is to improve performance of datamart batch load jobs.

Thanks,
