When I am executing the below query, it is working:
CREATE TABLE MySchema.AAA ( INFOLINKPODID NVARCHAR2(50));
But when I am trying to execute the same using execute immediate:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE '|| MySchema||'.AAA ( INFOLINKPODID NVARCHAR2(50));';
Getting below compilation error:
Error report -
ORA-06550: line 1, column 17:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE TABLE " when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( # % ;
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "CREATE TABLE " to continue.
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.

Thanks in advance.
as per the comments, you need a framing block, but also the semi-colon at the end of the execute immediate string needs to be removed (or you will get an ORA-00911 invalid character error), like this:
begin
execute immediate 'CREATE TABLE TEST (X NUMBER)';
end;
/
should work.

The error message strongly suggests you are getting the error when you call the procedure, not when you create it (and you did refer to 'when I try to run it'); so you are doing this:
begin
solver
end;
/
which generates exactly that error.
If you add a semicolon it will work:
begin
solver;
end;

I have a oracle cursor which I have created to facilitate concurrency. This is my cursor.
create or replace FUNCTION get_unlocked_records RETURN table_to_test%ROWTYPE IS
CURSOR c IS SELECT * FROM table_to_test where status_code = 5 FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED;
record_to_get table_to_test%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c;
FETCH c INTO record_to_get;
CLOSE c;
RETURN record_to_get;
END;
When I do the testing in 2 separate sql sessions using these commands,it gives the following errors.
declare
record_to_gets table_to_test%ROWTYPE;
begin
exec :record_to_gets := get_unlocked_records;
dbms_output.put_line(record_to_gets);
end;

What is the error that I am doing here ?
Since my ultimate goal is to call the function and get the result in java, how to call this function to get the first record in java ?
Thanks in advance.
EXEC[UTE] is a SQL*Plus command and prepending variable with a colon is done in SQL*Plus, but in PL/SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE might be used whereas that's not needed in your case, only using such an assignment without prepending the local variable is enough :
DECLARE
record_to_gets table_to_test%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
record_to_gets := get_unlocked_records;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(record_to_gets.col1);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(record_to_gets.col2)
END;

Here is a simple example using Toad for Data Analysts 3.0.1.1734. I have full permissions on the schema JSWEENEY.
Create the table
CREATE TABLE JSWEENEY.TEMP_SQL
(
SQL VARCHAR2(3000)
);
Create the procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO JSWEENEY.TEMP_SQL(SQL) VALUES('SELECT * FROM TEMP_SQL');
COMMIT;
END JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
/
Execute the procedure:
BEGIN
JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
END;
The first error:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 11:
PLS-00905: object JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL is invalid
ORA-06550: line 2, column 2: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Execute the procedure:
BEGIN
EXECUTE JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
END;
The second error:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 10:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "JSWEENEY" when expecting one of the following: := . ( # % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "JSWEENEY" to continue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
When you compile the procedure you will get an error; if your client doesn't display that then you can query the user_errors view (or all_errors if you're creating it in a different schema) to see the problem. Here it will be complaining that:
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
6/13 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:
;
It's valid to use the schema name in the create call; but not as part of the end. So if you need to specify the schema at all - which you don't if you're creating an object in your own schema, but your reference to permissions makes it sound like you aren't - then it should be:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO JSWEENEY.TEMP_SQL(SQL) VALUES('SELECT * FROM TEMP_SQL');
COMMIT;
END SP_INSERT_SQL;
/
Your second error is because execute on its is a client command (in SQL*Plus and relations), not a PL/SQL statement. The error refers to immediate because PL/SQL does have an execute immediate statement which is used for dynamic SQL, not for making static calls to procedures. Your first syntax to run the procedure is correct, once the procedure itself is valid:
BEGIN
JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
END;
/
try this edited the SQL statement.
create table TEMP_SQL ( col1 varchar2(100));
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_INSERT_SQL
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TEMP_SQL SELECT * FROM TEMP_SQL;
COMMIT;
END SP_INSERT_SQL;

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol " " when expecting one of the following:
I think the problem is in your repeat_interval argument.
The ; is used to separate different period elements, with no semi-colon after the last element. However, your string ends '; ' which explains why Oracle hurls.
The solution would be to pass this instead:
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=WEEKLY; BYDAY=FRI; BYHOUR=3'

You're referring to val directly, but that's a cursor row type. You need to specify the column name, even if there is only one:
... ||val.generation_qtr|| ...
... in both places you use it in the concatenation. So it woudl become:
L_sql:=L_sql ||' MAX(DECODE(generation_qtr, '||''''
|| val.generation_qtr ||''''||' cum_actual_gen)) AS '
|| val.generation_qtr ||','||chr(10);
If you're going to execute this dynamically then the new line characters aren't going to be very useful, but I guess they help for debugging.
