    col_name        IN VARCHAR,
    nValue          IN NUMBER) 
   AS
    dynamic_request VARCHAR(300);
BEGIN 
    dynamic_request := 'BEGIN  :t_row.'||COL_NAME ||':= :n_value; END;';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE dynamic_request
         USING IN OUT  TROW, IN nValue;
END;

this is because in your EXECUTE IMMEDIATE the tRow MyTable%ROWTYPE is not defined,

so we defined it with using statement.
