Your problem is not clear. What is the problem with dynamic file? Do you want to work with a single file or multiple files in that directory? If it is a single file then how do you determine which file you want to work with?
If you want to work with all the files there then probably try something like, loop through some dynamic construction of IL followed by 4 character left padded value of number from 1 to 31/365/whatever you want.
use the UTL_FILE.FGETATTR to know if the file exists, open it, read it and do what you want.
use the UTL_FILE.FREMOVE to delete the file, if you have permissions.
PS: I don't have permissions here to demonstrate an example.
