ERROR in OWB-Tutorial: Deployment MAP_MATCH_MERGE_CUSTOMERS_STG

Question

While I was trying the OWB Tutorial (Chapter "Ensuring Data Quality"), I got an error in the deployment of the MAP_MATCH_MERGE_CUSTOMERS_STG Mapping. Oracle generated the following wrong code in the MAP_MATCH_MERGE_CUSTOMERS_STG package:
-- Function "m0_break_f"
--   Determines if the match match break group is complete.
--   Returns TRUE if break group is complete
--   Returns FALSE if break group is not complete
FUNCTION "m0_break_f"(is_buffer_done BOOLEAN) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
   BEGIN
     IF ( (NOT is_buffer_done) AND ("m0_br_tbl".COUNT = 0 OR
              ( = )        AND 
              ( = )        AND 
              ( = )       
   THEN
     RETURN FALSE;
   ELSE
     RETURN TRUE;
   END IF;
EXCEPTION 
   WHEN OTHERS THEN
     RETURN TRUE;
END "m0_break_f";Is it a known bug?

This seems simply a syntax error...look at the line
644 in your mapping code (package body) and it
shudn't be difficult to rectify...if still get
problems post the code here on the forum..I get the same error when I deploy any mapping with a match/merge operator. I have owb version 10.1.0.4.0 too.
here is the function that causes the error:
FUNCTION "m0_break_f"(is_buffer_done BOOLEAN) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
IF ( (NOT is_buffer_done) AND ("m0_br_tbl".COUNT = 0 OR
( = ) AND
( = ) AND
( = )
THEN
RETURN FALSE;
ELSE
RETURN TRUE;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN TRUE;
END "m0_break_f";
the problem is "( = )". i guess that there's something missing before and after "=", but I don't have any idea of what it should be.
there must be something wrong in warehouse builder: it can't force me to correct the code it generates every time I deploy any mapping with match/merge!
thank you for the advice you can give me!
