Missing parenthesis

Hi all
With the following query am getting the following error and i tried parenthesis every where i could,pls give some advice
(select distinct a.contract_comp_method_code,a.amendment_id,a.contract_id,c.contract_number,contract_type_code
, ROW_NUMBER ( ) OVER ( PARTITION BY contract_number ORDER BY contract_number)
rn
from amendment a,contract_information c
where (contract_comp_method_code IN (5,1)
and contract_type_code='O')
where rn=1
error:
ORA-00907 missing right parenthesis
Cause: A left parenthesis has been entered without a closing right parenthesis, or extra information was contained in the parentheses. All parentheses must be entered in pairs.
Action: Correct the syntax and retry the statement.

select *
from (select distinct a.contract_comp_method_code, a.amendment_id,
                        a.contract_id, c.contract_number, contract_type_code,
                        row_number () over (partition by contract_number order by contract_number)
                                                                           rn

                         and contract_type_code = 'O'

Infuriatingly complex missing parenthesis problem!!

Hi
Im new to this forum but just wondering could anybody help me with this problem (or suggest another solution in sql).
Im developing an application to calculate the distance in kilometres between 2 sets of longtitude and latitude points. Im using the Haversine formula, which in javascript is:
var R = 6371; // km
var dLat = (lat2-lat1).toRad();
var dLon = (lon2-lon1).toRad();
var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
Math.cos(lat1.toRad()) * Math.cos(lat2.toRad()) *
Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
var d = R * c;
"d" is the distance in km's. Im converting this to sql (im using coldfusion to output variables latitude1 and longitude1, which are hardcoded to cartain values at the moment). To find "a", the sql is:
          select
          Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    + Cos(<cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput> * 3.14159/180)
                    * Cos(L.Latitude * 3.14159/180)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    FROM
                         tblLocations L
This works find and gives me the correct answer for "a". So next i need to find the value of "c" (using the formula var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a))). Im substituting the sql to find "a" for "a" in that formula. So:
select 2 * Atan2(Sqrt(a), Sqrt(1-a)) from tblLocations
becomes
               select 2 * Atan2(Sqrt((Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    + Cos(<cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput> * 3.14159/180)
                    * Cos(L.Latitude * 3.14159/180)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2))), Sqrt(1-(Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    + Cos(<cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput> * 3.14159/180)
                    * Cos(L.Latitude * 3.14159/180)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)))) As "KM"
from tblLocations L
There are 33 "(" parenthesis and 33 ")" parenthesis. But im getting an error "missing parenthesis". Sql should automatically execute the most embedded formulas first and work outwards. But it seems to be failing. Am I forgetting something? Or maybe theres another apporach I could use? I tried embedding a select within a select but I cannot use the "a" answer in the embedded select for calculations in the outer select....its all very baffling!
Thanks
Mark

ya thats true:) i changed it slightly:
     select 2 * Atan2(Sqrt(Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    + Cos(<cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput> * 3.14159/180)
                    * Cos(L.Latitude * 3.14159/180)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)), Sqrt(1-(Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Latitude - <cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    + Cos(<cfoutput>#latitude1#</cfoutput> * 3.14159/180)
                    * Cos(L.Latitude * 3.14159/180)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)
                    * Sin(((L.Longitude - <cfoutput>#longitude1#</cfoutput>) * 3.14159/180)/2)))) As "KM"
                                   FROM
                         tblLocations L
It now works fine! Anyway, i'll use the sdo_geom.sdo_distance function. much tidier. thanks a lot for the help!

HELP Can you see the missing parenthesis ?!

Dear People,
I am doing a simple program that creates a ContactBook and allows keyboard entry of lastName, telephoneNumber and emailAddress.
I have a few error messages that say parenthesis missing but I don't
see any missing ! :
"Note.java": Error #: 200 : '{' expected at line 15

Sql*plus missing parenthesis

hi, experts,
I use sqlplus to run this command.
CALL dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'XXXX',tabname => 'XXX_TBL',estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size,cascade => TRUE,degree => dbms_stats.default_degree,method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE SKEWONLY')
the sql*plus version is 9.2.0.1.0
the database version is 9.2.0.7.0
is my syntax correct?
but it returns this error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
is the syntax not allowed in sql*plus?

Hi,

Dear Frank Kulash,
I run this at the SQL> prompt AND on one line
do you mean this is not allowed to use call directly in SQL*PLUS?No, it's fine in SQL*Plus. I was just saying it won't work in PL/SQL.
Another way to call it from SQL*Plus is to say EXEC instead of CALL:
SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'XXXX',tabname => 'XXX_TBL');What happens when you call it with just 2 arguments?

Using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL get error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Hi,
I'm trying to extract schema DDL from a database (10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Enterprise Edition on Solaris 10). I run the query below and get an ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis error.
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN ('TABLE_PARTITION','INDEX_PARTITION','LOB');
This is the output when running the above in sqlplus worksheet
select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects where object_type not in ('TABLE_PARTITION','INDEX_PARTITION','LOB')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
removing the where clause gives the following:
select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any pointers would be gratefully received. I know I could get the DDL out using exp/imp but I want to understand why I'm getting the missing parenthesis error.
cheers,
Ewan

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN You don't need an alias here. Get rid of " AS object_type" and it should work.

Right parenthesis problem !!

Hello
I'm trying to make something simple work, and it doesnt.
When trying that :
declare
solde number;
journal varchar2(2);
dossier varchar2(12);
begin
journal:='21';
dossier:='1707029205';
execute immediate 'select sum(a.debi)-sum(a.cred)
into solde
from auxiloc a,
dossier d,
client c
where d.clie =c.code
and a.doss in (select o.code from dossier o where o.clie=c.code )
and a.cmpt   =4111
and a.xdate <=
(select dar2 from qt:1 where doss=d.code
and d.jqt =:2
and d.code=:3' using journal,journal,dossier;
end;I get a "Missing right parenthesis" on line 8, which is the line with the execute immediate.
Obviously, there's no missing parenthesis, I'm must be missing something else, but what ?
The request as :
select sum(a.debi)-sum(a.cred)
--into solde
from auxiloc a,
dossier d,
client c
where d.clie =c.code
and a.doss in (select o.code from dossier o where o.clie=c.code )
and a.cmpt   =4111
and a.xdate <=
(select dar2 from qt21 where doss=d.code
and d.jqt =21
and d.code=1707029205;is working without a glitch...
clues ?

OK, I was (wrongly) assuming that execute immediate statments were working just as a regular one, now it's corrected and it works with:
create or replace
FUNCTION sc_ar
      dossier IN varchar,
      journal IN varchar )
    RETURN number
AS
    solde number(11,2);

       decode(div,null,'ANY',div) div,
       decode(dept,null,'ANY',dept) dept,

union

        decode(per,100,'ANY',(100-per)) per,

and   a.cb_no not in (410,600)
and   b.sup_status in (decode(:p_status,'Active','A','Inactive','I',('A','I')))The user's can pass in 'Active', 'Inactive' or null (run it without an input param) as the input parameter.
If they don't give an input param, then the status in the above query can be either 'A' or 'I' i.e, it needs to pick up data for both.
When I try to run the above query in TOAD, it gives the error message "ORA-00907: missing parenthesis"
How can I make it work?
Thanks,

Find the line missing the parenthesis and add it?
Or hope you find a human compiler somewhere here in the forum.....which i guess was the approach you've undertaken.
Ugh...decode caught my eye, guess i'm a human compiler.
You can't use DECODE like that, try this.
and
      b.sup_status in (decode(:p_status,'Active','A','Inactive','I'))
   OR :p_status IS NULL

Flex sdk incremental build will lose swc information

I have a mxmlc ant task job like this
        <mxmlc
        file="${trunk_dir}/main/src/main.mxml"
        output="${local_tmp}/app/bin/main.swf"
                  >
            <load-config filename="${basedir}/flex-config-sea.xml"/>
            <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
        </mxmlc>
in flex-config-sea.xml I put this in for incremental compile and swc build
      <include-libraries>
         <library>/opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/sea_client/trunk/main/libs/Mate_08_9.swc</library>
         <library>/opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/sea_client/trunk/main/libs/xprogress.swc</library>
         <library>/opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/sea_client/trunk/main/libs/component.swc</library>
      </include-libraries>
      <incremental>true</incremental>
the first time build is ok, but the second time after I changed one single file, the output is
[mxmlc] Loading configuration file /opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/cc/flex-config-sea.xml
    [mxmlc] Recompile: /opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/sea_client/trunk/main/src/C.as

    [mxmlc] /tmp/sea_local/app/bin/main.swf (426617 bytes)
but the output swf is complaining lack of some swc when running, which didn't show up in the first time

this message normally shows up when there's no Mate_08_9.swc found at runtime. but this shouldn't happen.
is there anyway to work around this? thanks a lot

Somewhere in your pom.xml where you are configuring your build dependancies there will be a line <scope>caching</scope> this line is configuring the build to use a flex runtime shared library. This line is generating the error because caching is not a valid dependancy scope in maven 3 however mojos uses it anyway. There was a defect opened against flexmojos; I've linked it below. Froeder's response to the issue was that it was not fixable, that the warning is expected and that we'll have to live with it for now.

Is this a bug in Numbers?

Hi,
I have recently finished my spreadsheet for personal finance tracking, and have just encountered what may be a bug in numbers.
I have a few sheets in which i collect the relevant data to be used by the appropriate functions.
This is what I have noticed.
In one sheet I have spending categories in column 1, and the relevant months in the top row. I have used the SUMIFS function to total transactions by category and month. I wrote the first row of functions and when I was done I merely copied and pasted the functions into the adjacent rows since they are exactly the same, the only variable being the spending category, which I allowed for.
I have about 10 categories and they all work perfect except for two rows. I find this very unusual since I have copied and pasted the functions, so no room for error, and not only that, all the other rows work perfect - just these two rows don't do the job. Also, it does not give the error sign (the red triangle with the exclamation mark), but the cells simply return the value $0.00. I even re-wrote the functions to try a different method other than and copied version of the function, but I can't get the values to display correctly in the cells.
Anyways, I just thought that if there is someone else that is encountering the same problem it would be nice to know.
Thanks

Hello
At last I have responded to the 50 mails received and finished what I had to do in the garden.
I wish to add that when something doesn't behave as we wish, 99.99% of times, it's because we made a typo.
Here is a list of common ones :
(1) Extraneous spaces
(2) Unwanted duplicated chars
(3) unwanted or missing parenthesis (or double quotes)
(4) Error with the parameters separator (semi-colon versus comma)
(5) add you own common ones
Case 3 is quite easy to identify because most of the times, it generates a syntax error.
Case 4 is easier to identify because, as far as I know, it always generates a syntax error.
I apologizes but I can't describe Case 5's behaviour
Case 1 and 2 are the more annoying because they may give a formula returning a wrong value without any kind of error message.
It may be a good idea to keep this list near your machine.

Beginning College Java Project. Help Me Please !!!

The following is code that im writing for a program that will play a game between the user and the computer. I am getting an error message saying "CLASS EXPECTED".
The error is pointing me to the playerChoose Method where the variable pcchoice is trying to accept the value inputted by the user.
I am a beinner to the Java Language and am having difficulty understanding what the problem is or what the error means.
Can someone please help me!!!
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Random;
class NIM
public static void main (String [] args) throws IOException
     int game = 21; //Keeps Track of sticks remaining.
     Random random = new Random();
     PrintInstructions ();
     playerChoose();
     game = game - pchoice;
     computerChoose();
     game = game - cchoice;
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
static void PrintInstructions ()
     System.out.println ("You are going to play the game NIM.\n");
     System.out.println ("In this version of NIM, there are 21 sticks on the table.");
     System.out.println ("On each move, the user and the computer take turns picking");
     System.out.println ("up 1,2 or 3 sticks until there are no more sticks left.");
     System.out.println ("The one who picks up the last stick loses.\n");
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
static int playerChoose()
     pchoice = 0;
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     System.out.println ("Choose your sticks. Enter 1-2 or 3.");
     pchoice = int.ParseInt(in.readline);
     while pchoice = 1
     return(pchoice);
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
static int computerChoose()
     int cchoice = 0;
     for (i= 1; i<=50; i++)
     cchoice = random.nextInt(3)+1;
     return(cchoice);
}

In this line
pchoice = int.ParseInt(in.readline);you are wanting to parse the String entered from the keyboard as an int.
One way to do that is to use the parseInt method from the Integer class.
To use a static method from a class you start with the name of the class, followed by the name of the method (with the correct capitalization!), like this:
pchoice = Integer.parseInt(in.readline);The following line is missing parentheses; add them as below:
while (pchoice = 1)These corrections will expose more errors that can then be fixed.

Triggers in Oracle Lite

I want to create a trigger using a java stored procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test(tableName in VARCHAR2, tableID in VARCHAR2, ID int) AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'DBTrigger.setReplicationFlag(java.sql.Connection, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int)';
The tableName, tableID parameters are used to built the select statement in the Java Class, for the reason thet i don't want to write a class for every table. I just want to create the triggers based on one Class and one Stored Procedure.
Testing the Stored Procedure with:
select test('TESTMASTER','MASTER_ID',8) from dual; everything is OK
but when I try to create a trigger with:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Trigg AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OF FLOAT_COLUMN ON Testmaster FOR EACH ROW test('TESTMASTER','MASTER_ID', NEW.MASTER_ID);
I get the error message:
[POL-5228] Syntaxfehler
In the error message documentation I found the following:
POL-5228 Syntax error
Cause: SQL statement contained a syntax error.
Action: Inspect the statement for misspellings and missing parentheses, and
then reissue it. Refer to the online SQL help for the correct syntax for the
statement type.
Does anybody know where is the error or if it is possible to do so at all ?

Hi!
Triggers and stored procedures are indeed supported by Oracle 8iLite. You should consult the Oracle 8iLite Java Developers Guide chapter 2. Triggers and Stored Procedures.

Order by, cursor, rownum

i want to select 10 database entires
from an 8i database with the selector variable and sort the entries by a date
column.
but the problem is that my sql statement
(see below) selects first the entries
and then the entries get ordered.
what i need is first the entries ordered
and then the select. otherwise it is possible
that i get on the next page with the next
10 entries that this entries may be with a date that should be on the prev. page.
has anyone an idea?
thx
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT col1,
col2
FROM table
WHERE ROWNUM < (selector + 10)
MINUS
SELECT col1,
col2
FROM table
WHERE ROWNUM < selector)
ORDER BY TO_DATE (col2, 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI');

In Oracle 8i, the general format for this sort of "top-n" analysis is:
SELECT column1, column2, ROWNUM
FROM (SELECT column1, column2
FROM table_name
ORDER BY top_n_column DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM <= number_of_rows;
Applying that to this situation, the query would be something like:
SELECT col1, col2, ROWNUM
FROM (SELECT col1, col2
FROM table
ORDER BY TO_DATE(col2, 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI') DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM <= 10;
When you put the ORDER BY clause in a sub-query as above, the ORDER BY is applied before the numbering of the rows, so the pseudo-column ROWNUM has some meaning and usefulness.
However, for those of us who are still using versions prior to Oracle 8i, we can't have an ORDER BY clause in a sub-query; It will generate a somewhat confusing error about a missing parenthesis. Therefore, the pseudo-column ROWNUM has no meaning or usefulness. So, prior to Oracle 8i, for "top-n" analysis, the general format is something like this (It will also still work in 8i):
SELECT outer.column1, outer.column2
FROM table_name outer
WHERE number_of_rows >=
(SELECT COUNT (*) + 1
FROM table_name inner
WHERE inner.top_n_column > outer.top_n_column)
ORDER BY outer.top_n_column DESC;
Applying that to this situation, the query would be something like:
SELECT outer.col1, outer.col2
FROM table outer
WHERE 10 >=
(SELECT COUNT (*) + 1
FROM table inner
WHERE TO_DATE(inner.col2,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI') > TO_DATE(outer..col2,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI'))
ORDER BY TO_DATE(outer.col2,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI') DESC;
A lot of people keep asking for queries to select the first few or last few rows entered in a table, without ordering by a specific column (for what purpose I am not sure). It is a common mistake to attempt to use ROWNUM for this purpose. However, ROWID is assigned an incremental value upon input, not upon ordering or retrieval, like ROWNUM. Therefore, the pseudo-column ROWID can be used as a comparison column for the same sort of "top-n" analysis like this:
For the first n rows:
SELECT outer.column1, outer.column2, ROWID
FROM table_name outer
WHERE n >=
(SELECT COUNT (*) + 1
FROM table_name inner
WHERE inner.ROWID < outer.ROWID)
ORDER BY ROWID;
For the last n rows:
SELECT outer.column1, outer.column2, ROWID
FROM table_name outer
WHERE n >=
(SELECT COUNT (*) + 1
FROM table_name inner
WHERE inner.ROWID > outer.ROWID)
ORDER BY ROWID DESC;
If you are only attempting to retrieve one row, with or without a comparison column, then you can use things like MIN, MAX, NOT IN, NOT EXISTS, and set operators to find that one row.
I have seen a lot of confusion on this topic and I hope this explanation was thorough enough to help clarify it for some.

11g pivot query syntax question

I searched the forums and I have seen questions similiar to the one I am asking, but its not the exact same issue.
I need 3 fields in my 'for' clause. I get 'column ambiguously defined. I think I get this error for a different reason that other people asking the question.
The others seem to be doing more than 1 function in the pivot clause and those need an alias. I give an alias with my 1 function and still get an error.
ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
I used aliases like the recommendation in other posts and I still get the same error. I think I need 3 columns in the for clause.
--note that this is just a test table. These are not real names going into production
create table pivot_tab (
pk1 number,
pk2 number,
myElement varchar2(30),
myElementDate date);
pk1,pk2 are the unique key.
I need this to return as: the vlaues after pk2, can be any alias. This is just an example.
pk1 pk2 MY1_DATE, MY2_DATE, MY3_DATE
select *
     from pivot_tab
    PIVOT ( max(myElementDate) for myElement
            in (''MY1','MY2','MY3'))
I saw a couple of references to this syntax, but I get syntax errors.
ora--00906: missing parentheses. So I dont think this syntax works.
select *
     from pivot_tab
    PIVOT ( max(myElementDate) for (pk1,pk2,myElement)
            in (''MY1','MY2','MY3'))Edited by: Guess2 on May 6, 2013 6:50 AM

don't have any sample data or expected results to test this with maybe
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT pk1,
               pk2,
               myelement,
               myelementdate
          FROM pivot_tab) PIVOT (MAX (myElementDate)
                          FOR myElement
                          IN ('MY1' AS MY1, 'MY2' AS MY2, 'MY3' AS MY3));or maybe you are trying to pivot by the first part of the pk?
with pivot_tab as (select 1 pk1, 2 pk2, 'MY1' myelement, sysdate myelementdate from dual union all
                   select 1 pk1, 3 pk2, 'MY2' myelement, add_months(sysdate,2) myelementdate from dual union all
                   select 1 pk1, 4 pk2, 'MY3' myelement, add_months(sysdate,3) myelementdate from dual union all
                   select 2 pk1, 5 pk2, 'MY1' myelement, sysdate myelementdate from dual union all
                   select 2 pk1, 6 pk2, 'MY2' myelement, add_months(sysdate,6) myelementdate from dual union all
                   select 2 pk1, 7 pk2, 'MY3' myelement, add_months(sysdate,7) myelementdate from dual )
SELECT *

ERROR at line 13:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesisIf you use something like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer, they will give you the error stack which will point you to the source of the problem.
It's saying missing right parenthesis. Start by finding out if we've got all out matching brackets. Counting from the start of that statement i.e. SUBSTR on line 12, we have 7 open brackets and 6 close brackets. So there does appear to be a problem with brackets. However if we take a step back and look at lines 12 to 16, this is actually a single statement. It's a call to the SUBSTR function and within it it has calls to RTRIM, XMLAGG etc. For the statement as a whole there are the same number of left and right parenthesis so the problem is related to something else. Something that is leading the syntax check to think it has reached the end of a statement and hasn't found enough closing parethesis.
The issue here appears to be that we have the token PCNAMES at the end of line 13 but syntactically that's not correct. We can't have that token there because it's appearing in the middle of a function call. PCTNAMES is actually a column alias but it's just in the wrong place. We need it to be an alias for the whole expression from line 12 to 16. So make the change and see what happens...

ERROR at line 14:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesisNOw we've got a new error. Again it's saying we've got a missing parenthesis but this time on line 14. The issue here is that line 13 is a parameter to the SUBSTR function but there is no comma on the end. What we actually have at the moment is a line that looks like so
RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e,PC_NAME || ',' || SUBSTR(VALUE,1,LEN(VALUE) - 2),',').EXTRACT('//text()')),',') 2,Which is just not formed correctly. We need a comma at the end of line 13 to state that this is the end of that line as a parameter.

ERROR at line 25:
ORA-00942: table or view does not existNow we have a new error but this time it's because I don't have the t_person table on my database. Syntactically the statement above is now correct so it should work on your system.
