Quoted string not properly terminated

Question

I am trying to use the tune_mview package. I am setting up variables in sqlplus to use when calling the package. I am using the following to set the entire create Mview staement into a variable, but am getting a ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated. I can execute the select statement inside the create mview statement, and can execute the create mview statement, but when I try to set the entire statement into a variable I get the error. This is 10gR2.
EXECUTE :create_mv_ddl := q'|CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW WH.MV_SPS_CONTRIB_SPLITS ENABLE QUERY REWRITE AS
select
c.rep_nbr rep_number
,decode(p.override,null,c.rep_nbr,p.override) override

select

where

and payout_cat = 'PRC'
group by

where
c.rep_nbr = p.rep_nbr (+)
and p.rep_nbr = s.rep_number (+)
order by

Hi,
If i spotted the error I would write...two ('|') in the beggining and end of the CREATE statement .
EXECUTE :create_mv_ddl := q'||CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW WH.MV_SPS_CONTRIB_SPLITS ENABLE QUERY REWRITE AS
select
c.rep_nbr rep_number
,decode(p.override,null,c.rep_nbr,p.override) override
,c.rep_type
,decode(s.rep_number,null,1,decode(s.summed_perc,0,1/s.number_of_splits,p.payout_perc/s.summed_perc)) Comm_Contr
,p.payout_perc Split_Percentage
,s.summed_perc Sum_Of_All_Splits
from
wh.t_stg_sps_rep_control c
,(select *
from wh.t_stg_sps_rep_payout p
where
p.payout_cat = 'PRC'
and production_credit = 'Y') p
select
rep_nbr rep_number
,sum(payout_perc) summed_perc
,count(*) number_of_splits
,count(payout_perc) used_for_MV_rewrite
from
wh.t_stg_sps_rep_payout
where
production_credit = 'Y'
and payout_cat = 'PRC'
group by
rep_nbr
) s
where
c.rep_nbr = p.rep_nbr (+)
and p.rep_nbr = s.rep_number (+)
order by
c.rep_type
,p.rep_nbr[b] ||';
