EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and PL/SQL variables???

Hi List,

I know someone will have a good answer to this question:

I have a large PL/SQL program to convert some data. Some tables are created dynamically during the PL/SQL procedure using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. I need to query values from some of these tables (only a couple of rows, so performance is a non-issue currently). Since the tables don't exist at compilation time I thought about putting them into EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements to enable the PL/SQL to compile. My problem, therefore, is how do I get a figure from such a statement back into a normal variable?

I really don't want to break the conversion process into several PL/SQL blocks if there is a way to avoid this. Does anyone know of a tidy way to accomplish this? I'm willing to accept any ideas currently.

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

What, for example, is the equivalent of:

DECLARE
      n_count NUMBER;
BEGIN

      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(*) INTO n_count FROM DUAL';
      dbms_output.put_line('Number is '||n_count);
END;
