You didn't specify Reports version you use, but - if you're on 10g or above, then something like this should work:
select empno, ename
from &p_table_name;

See examples in Advanced Concepts.

He took you 9 hours to answer the simple question about your version, wait a little bit .
In the meantime, review your previous topics, answer the question we posted and feed back in the other ones.

I don't have Reports 6i; but, open its Help and see what's written for lexical parameters.

As of the table name in my example (i.e. "... from &p_table_name") - it means that you'd create a parameter whose name is P_TABLE_NAME and pass the table name while calling the report. In your case, you'd pass "EMP2019". Query wouldn't change at all, it would still be "... from &p_table_name" but Reports would substitute EMP2019 for P_TABLE_NAME.

&emp2019
Generally, when a character follows right after substitution variable name, dot (.) shall be used for its termination. So, in your case, it would be &emp.2019
I am not aware of its use in Reports. For sqlplus, it is described here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/20/sqpug/using-substitution-variables-sqlplus.html#GUID-DD1BE849-0B66-4F99 -83D0-F3B9F5A0D361

[Edit: Added quote of the source question (I hope I understood it)]
