Can I use table function inside Dynamic query ?

Question

Dear Gurus,
I have following code
DECLARE
TYPE CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(20);
OtherNoList CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE; /* CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE is index by table*/
QUERY_STRING VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
OtherNoList := CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE();
SELECT DISTINCT REGEXP_SUBSTR('1,5,6,4', '[^\,]+',1, LEVEL ) BULK COLLECT INTO OtherNoList
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT('1,5,6,4', '\,') + 1 ;
QUERY_STRING := 'INSERT INTO TAB1 (C1,C2) '||
'SELECT C1,'||
'C2 '||
'FROM TAB1 ,'||
'TABLE( '||
          'CAST (OtherNoList AS CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE) '||
               ') OTHRNOS '||
'WHERE TAB1.C1 = OTHRNOS.COLUMN_VALUE ';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Query String is '||QUERY_STRING);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE QUERY_STRING;
END;
Can I use Table function inside dynamic query.
Thanking in advance

Try:
DECLARE
TYPE CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(20);
OtherNoList CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE; /* CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE is index by table*/
QUERY_STRING VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
OtherNoList := CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE();
SELECT DISTINCT REGEXP_SUBSTR('1,5,6,4', '[^\,]+',1, LEVEL ) BULK COLLECT INTO OtherNoList
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT('1,5,6,4', '\,') + 1 ;
QUERY_STRING := 'INSERT INTO TAB1 (C1,C2) '||
'SELECT C1,'||
'C2 '||
'FROM TAB1 ,'||
'TABLE( '||
'CAST (:OtherNoList AS CRITERIA_LIST_TABLE) '||
') OTHRNOS '||
'WHERE TAB1.C1 = OTHRNOS.COLUMN_VALUE ';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Query String is '||QUERY_STRING);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE QUERY_STRING using OtherNoList;
END;p.s. not tested
