Creation of triggers using CFQUERY tag is giving error

Question

Hi,
I am creating triggers and stored procedure on ORACLE data
base using <CFQUERY>.
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CRM">
create or replace trigger AWC_ACCOUNTINGPERIODSID_TRI
before insert on AWC_ACCOUNTINGPERIODS
for each row
begin
select AWC_ACCOUNTINGPERIODSID_SEQ.nextval into :new.AP_ID
from dual;
end;
</CFQUERY>
But the created trigger is not compiled, it is giving the
following error
"Line # = 1 Column # = 6 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the
symbol "" when expecting one of the following: begin case declare
exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update
while with <an identifier> << close current delete
fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit
forall merge pipe The symbol "" was ignored."
If I edit that trigger in enterprise manager console by
pressing space and compile that, it is working fine with out any
error. If i run the above statement in sql *plus, It is working
fine with out any error. Can you please tell me why this is
happening if i run it using cfquery tag and also the possible
solutions.
Thanks in advance,
Vinod

I can't tell you why your particular trigger is failing, but
here is some "typical" reasons from Oracle's metalink.
Common reasons for PLS-00103
Error Summary
PLS-00103 Encountered the symbol "%s" when expecting one of
the following (Oerr
LS.103)
Error Details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error: PLS-00103
Text: Encountered the symbol "%s" when expecting one of the
following:
Cause: This error message is from the parser. It found a
token
(language element) that is inappropriate in this context.
Action: Check previous tokens as well as the one given in the
error message. The line and column numbers given in the
error
message refer to the end of the faulty language construct.
PLS-00103 errors can often be difficult to localize what the
error is so here are some
common reasons for PLS-00103 errors..
A very common reason for PLS-00103 is when a reserved word is
used, with a reserved word
means words that names an oracle object or a built in
procedure, for example MOD, ABS,
TABLE, VIEW etc..
When trying to use SQL*PLUS commands in PL/SQL procedures,
like SPOOL, SET and other
commands that belongs to SQL*PLUS can result in this error.
Using parameter declaration at the IN/OUT clause in a
procedure, this works in versions
prior to 8.0.4, but it just ignored the declaration.
Using DDL commands in PL/SQL will fail in PLS-00103, the way
to use DDL commands is
to build a procedure in dynamic sql.
When creating package specification and a package body, a
PLS-00103 error will occur
if there is no slash, '/', after the package specification.
