Question -I am ruuning the above code and it seems that code is resloving the macro varibale table no but due to pass through method it is showing above error
What should I write to run this code
This is just a guess but some databases don't like double quotes so try this:
AND v.name = %str(%')&table_no%str(%')
If that gives you trouble, apply %unquote:
AND v.name = %unquote(%str(%')&table_no%str(%'))
