I have a form. below are the details
Block Name= B1
Text_Item Name=Offer_id
LOV Button :- for populating list of offer_ids for ex. 111,222,333 etc and storing values in text item.
Program Units :- contains few procedures for ex. GEN_EXCEL_111,GEN_EXCEL_222,
GEN_EXCEL_333 etc
Push Button:= To generate ouput in .csv file.

My requirement is when button get pressed and offer id is 111 then procedure gen_excel_111 should run , if offer id is 222 then procedure gen_excel_222 should run and so on.

Right now i am using following code on push button:-

IF :B1.OFFER_ID=111 THEN
          GEN_EXCEL_111;
ELSIF :B1.OFFER_ID=222 THEN
          GEN_EXCEL_222;
ELSIF :B1.OFFER_ID=333 THEN
          GEN_EXCEL_333
END IF;

But i do not want to use this , i want to concatenate value of offer_id in procedure name at runtime but it is not working for me.
I tried:-

'GEN_EXCEL_'||:B1.OFFER_ID;

Please provide the solution.

If the procedures are in the DB you can use execute immediate.
If they're not then I'm pretty sure you have no choice but to hard code.

I would say FORMS_DDL (instead of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE).

Good point, to be clear though it can only be used in the same cases as execute immediate.

@lf @cm
but how because below codes are not working , how will it take value at runtime if i am putting code in FORMS_DDL AND enclosing code between ('') .

FORMS_DDL('GEN_EXCEL_')||:MAIN.OFFER_ID;

FORMS_DDL('GEN_EXCEL_'||:MAIN.OFFER_ID);

FORMS_DDL('''GEN_EXCEL_'||:MAIN.OFFER_ID||'''');
