Add generic partition getting ORA-14020

Question

Hi,
i wrote some test statements, for trying to achiev that.
but now i got an ORA-14020: this physical attribute may not be specified for a table partition
i try to generate a generic partition name with the SYSTIMESTAMP.
the stement i use is:
alter table table_partitioned
add partition table_partitioned_' || ' substr(to_char(systimestamp,'yyyy_mm_dd'),1,10) ' || ' VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('09.05.2013', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
i can't figure out whats wrong with the syntax, can anybody help me.
thanks for reading :-)
