Just call the procedure as you'd do it in any PL/SQL block; you, probably, already have a text item of the NUMBER datatype - let's call it 'd_to_delete'. Call the procedure from a form trigger (for example, create additional PUSH BUTTON with a label "Delete 'd'") and put such a code into it:
dd (:d_to_delete);

Don't forget to COMMIT changes you've made in order to reflect them in the database.

Well, it does work for me.

Where did you put
dd(:d);
commit;
Which trigger was it? Did the trigger fire? If you are not sure of it, put a MESSAGE statement so that you'll be informed about it:
message('I am going to call the DD procedure now. Parameter is ' || :d);
dd (:d);
commit;
message('Returned from DD');
