Question: How can I dynamically call stored procedures in Oracle 8?

I have a table which contains stored procedure names. I want to build a cursor that calls each of these stored procedures. How can I execute a stored procedure when I have its name stored in a variable?
I've tried:

BEGIN variable; END;

and this doesn't work. In MS SQL Server, you can do this with the following code:

EXECUTE variable.

Any help would be appreciated. Received on Fri Jul 07 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
