About the Reports Builder built-in package (SRW)

Reports Builder is shipped with a built-in package (SRW), a collection of PL/SQL constructs that include many functions, procedures, and exceptions you can reference in any of your libraries or reports.

The PL/SQL provided by the SRW package enables you to perform such actions as change the formatting of fields, run reports from within other reports, create customized messages to display in the event of report error, and execute SQL statements.

You can reference the contents of the SRW package from any of your libraries or reports without having to attach it. However, you cannot reference its contents from within another product, for example, from SQL*Plus.

Constructs found in a package are commonly referred to as "packaged" (that is, packaged functions, packaged procedures, and packaged exceptions).
