Add Columns to Updatable Report

Question

Hello,
i need some help regarding an "Updatable Report".
My goal is to have some SelectLists in comluns named "2008_05", "2008_08", ....."2010_01", "2010_04".
The user must have the option to add more cloumns.
My process on submit is:
declare
  SQL_STRING varchar2(4000);
begin
  SQL_STRING :=  'ALTER TABLE TAB_REPORTS ADD "' || :P3700_COLUMN_NAME ||  '" varchar2(100)';
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE(SQL_STRING);  
  return;
end;At the moment I have this code for a standard report returning a SQL query:
declare
  q varchar2(4000);
begin
  q := 'SELECT R_ID, PLANT_NAME, UNIT_NO, R_TSO_NO TSO_NO';
  For i in (SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS
  WHERE table_name = 'TAB_REPORTS'
  AND column_name like '2%')
  loop
    q := q || ', ';
    q := q || 'APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV (1, ';
    q := q || chr(34);
    q := q || i.column_name;
    q := q || chr(34);
    q := q || ', ';
    q := q || chr(39);
    q := q || 'LOV_QER';
    q := q || chr(39);
    q := q || ', ';
    q := q || 'null';
    q := q || ', ';
    q := q || chr(39);
    q := q || 'Y';
    q := q || chr(39);
    q := q || ') as "';
    q := q || i.column_name;
    q := q || '"';
  end loop;
  q := q || ' FROM TAB_REPORTS ';
  q := q || ', TAB_SD';
  q := q || ', TAB_CONTACT';
  q := q || ' WHERE TSO_NO = R_TSO_NO';
  q := q || ' AND CON_PLANT_NAME = TAB_SD.PLANT_NAME';
  q := q || ' AND R_TSO_NO = decode(:P3700_FILTER_PLANT_NAME, ';
  q := q || chr(39);
  q := q || 'all';
  q := q || chr(39);
  q := q || ', R_TSO_NO, :P3700_FILTER_PLANT_NAME)';
  q := q || ' ORDER by PLANT_NAME, UNIT_NO';
  return q;
END;The function returning a SQL is not working for an updatable report.
It has to be static i think.
Any solutions or ideas?
Thx & greetings
Chris
