I think the problem is that once you pass the string to a PL/SQL procedure,
and you want to use it in dynamic SQL, you have to "escape" the single quote
again. Perhaps the example below will help.
SQL> select * from emp ;
ID LAST_NAME FIRST_NAME
--------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
1 MILLER ARTHUR
2 O'NEILL EUGENE
SQL> create function get_id (in_where_clause varchar2) return number
2 is
3 the_id number ;
4 begin
5 execute immediate 'select id from emp where ' || in_where_clause
6 into the_id ;
7 return the_id ;
8 end ;
9 /
Fonction créée.
SQL> variable return_id number
SQL> -- in this example, I want the function to receive the string
SQL> -- (last_name = 'MILLER') so I surround it with single quotes
SQL> -- and change each of the single quotes to two single quotes
SQL> execute :return_id := get_id ('last_name = ''MILLER''')

Here you go... So far I have not gotten it to work... I have tried all
suggestions so far.
Seems to work if I just do it to a variable but once I call in the stored
proc. It fails to work.

This does not work when executing my stored procedure:
SQL> var a refcursor
SQL> var b varchar2(100);
SQL> begin
2 :b :='and sub_account_no=' || '''' || '864240103' || '''';
3 execute :a := pkg_reports_Dynamiccti.fu_sales_analysis('2003-05-21
00:00
:00','2003-06-02 00:00:00','20','864240103','order by calldate desc',:b);
4 end;

execute :a :=

this works:

SQL> begin
