Activate a call list in CRM using an interface

Question

We are building an interface to create a call list in CRM and we have come to the stage where we want the interface to activate the call list that has been created.
Does anyone know how accomplish this?

What you are suggesting would require a different stored procedure for each table which is what I'm trying to avoid.
Why would it have to be different procedures? You could have all the INSERT statements in a single procedure.
Yes, you could save yourself some typing (well, copying-and-pasting) by using that piece of dynamic SQL. But when may at some point have to fight permissions, you will need to spend times to tweak the code, when there are columns that are not to be copied
and so on. It's possibly more fun, but it is necessarily not more productive.
By the way, there are three flaws in the piece of code you posted:
   select  @columnList = coalesce(@columnList + ',','') + sys.columns.name
    from    sys.columns
    where   object_name(sys.columns.object_id) = @tableName
        and sys.columns.name not in ( @keyName )
        and is_computed = 0;
The correct result of the construct SELECT @x = @x + col is undefined. You can use FOR XML PATH('') to create a concatenate list. (A quick Google will show you how.)
"NOT IN (@keyname)" means the same thing as "<> @keyname". If they idea is tha @keyname is to be an inclusion list, then you need to crack the list to a table.
And:
    exec sp_executesql @sqlCommand, N'@oldKeyId int', @oldKeyId = @oldKeyId
    select @newTableId = @@identity -- note scope_identity() won't work here!
Of course, scope_identity() works as long as you capture the value inside the dynamic SQL and return in it an OUTPUT parameter.
By the way, here is one more issue: you need to write the query so that it can handle tables that do have IDENTITY columns.
