Answer 1

there is no such variable options for gather_table_stats:
PROCEDURE GATHER_TABLE_STATS
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
OWNNAME VARCHAR2 IN
TABNAME VARCHAR2 IN
PARTNAME VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
ESTIMATE_PERCENT NUMBER IN DEFAULT
BLOCK_SAMPLE BOOLEAN IN DEFAULT
METHOD_OPT VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
DEGREE NUMBER IN DEFAULT
GRANULARITY VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
CASCADE BOOLEAN IN DEFAULT
STATTAB VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
STATID VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
STATOWN VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
NO_INVALIDATE BOOLEAN IN DEFAULT
STATTYPE VARCHAR2 IN DEFAULT
FORCE BOOLEAN IN DEFAULT
So you can't use such variable.
Use instead gather_schema_stats with such option, it will automaticaly gather stats for all tables with stale_stats in that schema.
Or You can look into table:
dba_tab_modifications
And from there find which tables are having stale stats and gather with gather_table_stats.
