Report Using Bind Variables

Question

Hey Everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble creating a report. I need the FROM part of the code to use bind variables. I have come up with this peice of code below but im getting the following error:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:
begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use
form
current cursor
The symbol "" was ignored.
ORA-06550: line 2, column 24:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:
begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use
form
current
Can anyone see where im going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
-N.S.N.O.

Hey Roel and Daylocks,
After getting frustrated for a while i deleted the page and started again. I put in the exact same code and it worked just how i wanted in the first place :S
The only thing i did different is when i was creating the report region the first time around i used a normal SQL query, For Example:
select sysdate from dual;
Then i modified it to
DECLARE
x VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
x := x || 'select ';*
x := x || 'from ';
x := x || :p14_schema;
x := x || '.ddl_log@';
x := x || :p14_db_name;
x := x || '_DBAAPEX.TNTEWW.COM';
RETURN (x);
END;
Whereas on the second attempt i used the peice of code in question straight away. Its been a bit of a frustrating morning because i used a similar peice of code for a different application, nevermind tho :)
Thanks for your replys, much appreciated.
