MultiSelect parameters with oracle

I'm planning a deployment of RS that uses stored procedures to parse out multiselect paramters, but I'd like to do this in our old system without a stored procedure.
Im currently using Visual Studio 2005 with SP2, running against Oracle 8i.

I found a proposed solution at SQL Server Central
(the entry by dph-446223 on page one)

Translated to oracle syntax the where clause is this:
WHERE :)CommaDelimtedList || ',' LIKE '%' || TableColumnToCompareTo || ',%' OR @CommaDelimtedList = '')

This query works in Oracle/TOAD, and in the query section of Reporting Services, but then doesn’t work in the actual report unless only one item is selected. There an oracle error:Invalid relational operator appears. Sounds like the list in not getting parsed into separate elements here.
Does anyone have an idea why?

Thanks
Bob
