Question:  lexical references

Answer: I am making an oracle 10g report and in Query Builder I tried to use lexical reference after the from clause
like

SELECT ORDID, TOTAL
FROM &ATABLE;

But it was showing me an error "invalid table name"
Can't i use a lexical reference to make me enter the table name at run time?

please help.

RE: lexical references
 
It is working fine with Oracle 10g and even with 11g

SQL>select &a, &b from &tablename;

It will ask respective values and it work fine
