Shouldn't it be:
qry := 'SELECT * from '|| trim(realname) ||' where crmid like ''%'||
trim(crmid) ||'%''';
The contents of qry should be:
'SELECT * from blahblah where crmid like '%crmid%'
Your errors (I think) are here:
qry := ''SELECT * from ''|| trim(realname) ||'' where crmid like %''||
^1 ^1 ^1 ^2
trim(crmid) ||''%'';
^1 ^3
^1 = only need a single quote
^2 = the quotes are after the % when they should be before
^3 = you have a missing closing single quote
Of course, if the above is in a pl/sql procedure, then you'll need to
double up all the quotes (I think).
Hope that helps.
