   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('SQL Command = ' || SQLCommand );
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SQLCommand';

END;

The SQL is meant to be dynamic; i.e.: if I have reached a predetermined script level I want to include additional columns otherwise not.

Yet, If I take the output SQL from my SQLCommand variable and run it creates the view. I'm missing something obvious - I just don't see it now.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Murray

Change

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SQLCommand';

to

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQLCommand; -- no single quotes
