Dynamic table type generation at runtime

Question

Hi,
Is there any way by which I can generate the table types at runtime.
I am fetching table_name from all_tables and according to the table_name fetched from all_tables, I want to generate a table type for the same (eg. some thing like mentioned below) :
TYPE v_tablename(int_tablecounter)||'_typ' IS TABLE OF v_tablename(int_tablecounter)%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER
thanks,
aks

Hello aks,
did you try
  1  Declare
  2    v_CNT   NUMBER       := 1;
  3    v_TABLE VARCHAR2(30) := 'TEST';
  4    v_STMT  VARCHAR2(500);
  5  Begin
  6    v_STMT := ' DECLARE '||
  7              '   TYPE TAB'||v_CNT||' IS TABLE OF '||v_TABLE||'%ROWTYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;'||
  8              '   v_TAB'||v_CNT||' TAB'||v_CNT||';'||
  9              ' BEGIN'||
10              '   v_TAB'||v_CNT||'(1).ID   := 1;'||
11              '   v_TAB'||v_CNT||'(1).COL  := ''TEST'';'||
12              '   P.L ( v_TAB'||v_CNT||'(1).COL );'||
13              ' END;';
14    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_STMT;
15* End;
