Re: dynamic procedure calls in PL/SQL

Hi Again:

   The version of Oracle is 7.3.4.
   We have tried "execute immediate" and "dbms_sql" without success. They work with a standard sql statements like a "select" but they do not seem to "understand" the procedure name. The compile itself fails. Thanks again
