All,

Here is the simple version of the code.

declare

v_schema varchar2(30);

begin
v_schema := 'scott.emp';

select * from v_schema;

end;
/

I get the pls-00201 error that v_schema is not declared. I even try and substitute in place of the variable scott.emp and it says scott is not declared. I know this must be something simple, but I have tried everything I can think of. I have tried quoting, separating the schema and table name into different variables, etc.

Any suggestions would be very welcomed.

Thanks,

John
