Hi,
j is a cursor and you need to specify the column name <b>j.csv</b>
Also you need to add space before and after literal 'FROM':
         DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('SELECT ' || j.csv || ' FROM ' || i.table_name || ' ;');Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
When you put some code please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
Regards.
