How to replace variable value of a sql query dynamically

Question

Hi all,
Trying to execute sql queries present in Oracle table and the query it self contains the ODI variable #EMP_NO.
At the run time we thought of passing the variable values.
table contains query like
update table <table name> set <column name>= 5000 where emp_no = #EMP_NO
We need to execute the sql query using a ODI procedure, to pick the sql query from table we use another variable #varSQLID and in the command on source tab wrote like
select sql_query varSQL from emp_sql where query_id=#varSQLID
Command on target
#varSQL
when ever I tried to execute I am getting error please let me know what changes are required .
The question is whether it's possible to replace the variable value present in the above sql ?

Thanks Siddhartha,
Actually we have been doing the same, means half of the query has been kept in the table and rest is being added in the " command on source " tab of the procedure .
But the problem is , the "where" condition is not same for all SQL queries,
to provide 27 different sqls queries for 27 packages we have to create 27 procedures (as "where" condition may take other column values along with "EMPNO" for the JOIN condition ) .
Any suggestion of keeing SQL along with the variable and storing it in the table may resolve our problem and work of 27 procedures can be performed by a single procedure .
