How to find number of rows inserted by dynamic query

Question

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql
USING p_start_date, p_end_date
RETURN sql%rowcount into l_count;
Here l_sql is is selecting record from table_1 based on p_start_date, p_end_date and inserting record in table_2.
There is some further process to be done on table_2 which I want to do only if atleast 1 record is inersted in table_2 by the select query on table_1 for this I am using RETURN sql%rowcount into l_count;
I am geting error pls-00103 for this.
Is there any way to achieve this functionality.
Thanks

Is there any way to achieve this functionality.Depends on your exact form of l_sql. Here are two ways to get the rowcount out of execute immediate:
SQL>  create table emp_test as select * from emp where 1=2
Table created.
SQL>  begin
   execute immediate 'insert into emp_test select * from emp';
   dbms_output.put_line ('Count: ' || sql%rowcount);
end;
Count: 14
SQL>  rollback
Rollback complete.
SQL>  declare
   l_count integer;
begin
   execute immediate 'begin insert into emp_test select * from emp; :1 := sql%rowcount; end;' using out l_count;
   dbms_output.put_line ('Count: ' || l_count);
end;
Count: 14
