Passing table name to a procedure and then need to open a cursor ..

Question

Hi All,
I have been out of touch in plsql for sometime and need to do something like :
passing table name to a procedure while calling(fp_table_old captures this value) and then need to open a cursor for this table in 'for i in (select * from fp_table_old )', one of the ways I tried is : for i in (execute immediate Lv_sql_query ) but its not working for me, please find the code below for reference, I know I am sounding stupid but I have been very out of touch, please help.
code :
create procedure p_table_compare(fp_table_old in varchar2, fp_table_new in varchar2)
as
Lv_sql_query varchar2(2000);
begin
     Lv_sql_query := 'select * from '||fp_table_old;
     for i in (Lv_sql_query)
     loop
          dbms_output.put_line(i.employee_id);
     end loop;
end;

Answer 1

if I am doing something like this : for i in (execute immediate Lv_sql_query)
I am getting an error which is :
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "IMMEDIATE" when expecting one of the following:
. ( ) , * @ % & | = - + < / > at in is mod remainder not
range rem => .. <an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >=
My code:
create or replace procedure p_table_compare(fp_table_old in varchar2, fp_table_new in varchar2)
as
Lv_sql_query varchar2(2000);
begin
     --dbms_output.put_line('Hello World');
     Lv_sql_query := 'select * from '||fp_table_old;
     for i in (execute immediate Lv_sql_query)
     loop
          dbms_output.put_line(i.employee_id);
     end loop;
end;
Please help.
