Ora-907 during create table statement

Question

Customer is receiving an ora-907 error running this sql statement and I cannot determine where the problem is, if there is extra spaces or if it's truly missing the right parenthesis.

Welcome to the forum!
So why did you use your second post to the forum to resurrect a thread that is over a year old?
Hemant already provided the correct answer to the question and your reply to him that 'This contradicts the constraint documentation' doesn't specify what you mean by "this" but is wrong on any account.
You certainly can't be referring to Hemant's statement
>
The syntax "constraint cfcs_tfcs_fk foreign key ...", using the key words "foreign key" is for an out-of-line constraint definition.

Since the diagram clearly shows his statement is correct.
And you can't be referring to his statement

Furthermore, the "using index" clause is for Primary Key constraint , not for a Foreign Key. You should manually create the index separately.

Since the documentation states exactly what Hemant said.
See 'Using Indexes to Enforce Constraints' in the SQL Language doc

>
Restrictions on the using_index_clause The following restrictions apply to the using_index_clause:
You cannot specify this clause for a view constraint.
You cannot specify this clause for a NOT NULL, foreign key, or check constraint.
