Report 3.0 oracle database 9i(Encounter the symbol "(" when expecting

Hi,
i am using oracle 9i database and report 3.0 and OS win xp
and my procedure is
PROCEDURE GET_MILLION_TEXT (MILLION IN NUMBER,MILLTEXT OUT VARCHAR2(30)) IS
BEGIN
SELECT ARA_TEXT1 INTO MILLTEXT FROM NUM_WORD WHERE NUMB=MILLION;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN NULL;
END;
while compiling i am getting the following error
Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following
if i change VARCHAR2(30) to VARCHAR2 then i am getting the following error
Report Designer has encounter a problem and needs to close.(and then the report is going to close automatically)
help will be appreciable thank you.

11g R1 problem... PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "¿" when expecting...

Yesterday AM. my customer went live with an upgrade. Things started out ok, but as the load on the system started to build, we started seeing errors.
The reported error is:
S1000 Oracle ODBC Ora ORA-06550: line 1, column 42:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "¿" when expecting one of the following:
. ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod remainder not rem =>
<an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like
This is in response to calling a stored procedure with this signature.
MY_THING (
p1 IN NUMBER,
p2 OUT NUMBER,
p2 IN NUMBER
I believe this is a failure with the ODBC driver to parse
{call MY_STUFF.MY_THING(791200, ?, 1067744)}
Now to head off the obvious responses, I'm going to say these things in boldface
the procedure itself is fine, and works flawlessly under test
*nowhere in any of the code is an upside-down '?' as reported in the error message*
Has anyone else encountered this--or better yet solved it?

thanks for the replies.
I'd have to rule out triggers at the point the stored procedure is run. Other than logging, it doesn't do any writes to the database. It does a couple of look-ups, and returns the results in a cursor. As for the web servers, they're pretty much copies of each other. 'Out of the box + updates' Windows Server 2008 machines with our application installed on each.
The software issuing the ODBC call is old, well worn, tried and true C++. In this case the only string parameters passed are 'PA' or 'PJ' the rest is all integers.
But again I want to stress that it doesn't appear that we reach the database when it fails. It appears to fail when the ODBC driver is parsing the '{call xxxxxx} statement.
On a hunch, I've just reconfigured our application to treat the offensive call as if it were an 'external' reference. Meaning that a new ODBC connection will be created/destroyed for each run. Not very efficient, but I'll take slow over broken any day. It's too early to tell if this will eliminate the error.

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:

Hi I am creating trigger using CFQUERY tag of cold fusion on oracle..
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CRM">
create or replace trigger AWC_ACCESSROLESID_TRI
before insert on AWC_ACCESSROLES
for each row
begin
select AWC_ACCESSROLESID_SEQ.nextval into :new.AR_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> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> << close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge <a single-quoted SQL string> pipe The symbol "" was ignored."
If I edit that trigger in enterprose 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

So it works in Enterprise manager. It works in SQL*Plus. It doesn't work in CFQUERY. Sounds to me like a ColdFusion problem rather than an Oracle problem to be honest. Aren't there any ColdFusion support resources?

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ""

Hi
I'm trying to create a PL/SQL function using JDBC and the procedure gets created but with status invalid. After checking the user_errors view I get:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following: begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use form current cursor external language
I'm using the following statement:
statement = connection.prepareStatement ("CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION SCOTT.WHATEVER return varchar2 as begin return ('Whatever 2'); end;");
statement.execute ();
If I run the same statement from SQL*Plus I get no problems.
Yes!, the application requires that I create store procedures using JDBC, no other way.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Nestor,
Works for me on Oracle 9.2.0.7 database (running on SUN [sparc] Solaris 9) with JDK 1.4.2_07 and "ojdbc14.jar" JDBC [thin] driver.

import java.sql.SQLException;
public class CrSqlFun {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Connection c = null;
    PreparedStatement ps = null;
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@host:1521:orcl";
    String sql = "create or replace function WHATEVER return varchar2 as " +
                                             "begin return 'Whatever 2'; end;";
    try {
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      c = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
      ps = c.prepareStatement(sql);
      ps.executeUpdate();

Hi,
it seems there are compilation errors in your PL/SQL, leading to the ORA-06550 error. Check your PL/SQL code and try to execute it directly in the database to see if the issue is related to ODI.

Whenever you post a question, post all the code necessary for people to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
In this case, that means CREATE statements for any tables or sequences involved, INSERT statements for any tables that need rows (such as product) as they exist before the INSERT, some INSERT statements for orderline, and the contents of all the tables after each of those INSERTs.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Expression Builder - Anydata Cast Error - Encountered the symbol "("

Hello
I am using OWB 11 with Oracle 11 and am hitting an error on something I would think is super simple in expression builder!
So I been reading around the forums and havent been able to figure out what is going on with my transformation
I drag and dropped the transformation "Anydata Cast" onto my mapping
I select the target type as "VARCHAR" for casting
I drag and drop the source column and drop it over the auto generated "CAST_SOURCE" from INGRP1
I then drag CAST_TARGET from the OUTGRP1 to my target
I right click the ANYDATA_CAST transformation and click on "Output Attributes" and click on the "..." to open the expression builder
Then I input the following code
CAST( INGRP1.CAST_SOURCE AS VARCHAR(10))
And hit validate
I then hit the following error
Line 1, Col 40:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
Am I missing something in my code??
I know this is really simple, but I really cant find what I am doing wrong??
Thanks in advance

Hi Joel,
how about following the advice given by the error message and moving the mentioned files/folder (init<sid>_OFS.ora, AUDIT folder) to a clustered resource disk?
just my 2 pence...

Encountered the symbol "COLLECT" error message, without a collection?

Okay, once again I'm confused and lost.
I'm working on a 'variation' of the Issue Tracker sample application at:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23133
Once there, select "Projects", then on the "Projects" page, click the edit button.
The error appears in the "Add or Edit Project Tasks" region.
The region source is:
select
x.del,
x.task_name,
x.status,
x.dependent_upon,
x.task_scope,
x.task_comments,
x.task_lead,
x.ck ck
from (
select
apex_item.checkbox(1,task_id) del,
apex_item.text(2,task_name,30,70) TASK_NAME,
apex_item.display_and_save(3,ht_tasks_getstatus(task_id)) STATUS,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(4,dependent_upon,'select task_name d, task_id r from ht_tasks where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID') DEPENDENT_UPON,
apex_item.textarea(5,task_scope,4,40) TASK_SCOPE,
apex_item.textarea(6,task_comments,4,40) TASK_COMMENTS,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(7,task_lead,'PEOPLE') TASK_LEAD,
apex_item.hidden(8,project_id)||
apex_item.hidden(9,wwv_flow_item.md5(task_name,status,dependent_upon,task_scope,task_comments,task_lead)) ck
from HT_TASKS_VIEW
where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID
union all
select
apex_item.checkbox(1,null) del,
apex_item.text(2,null,30,70) TASK_NAME,
apex_item.display_and_save(3,null) STATUS,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(4,null,'select task_name d, task_id r from ht_tasks where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID') DEPENDENT_UPON,
apex_item.textarea(5,null,4,40) TASK_SCOPE,
apex_item.textarea(6,null,4,40) TASK_COMMENTS,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov(7,null,'PEOPLE') TASK_LEAD,
apex_item.hidden(8,to_number(:P3_PROJECT_ID))||
apex_item.hidden(9,null) ck
from dual) x
Which appears to be working correctly. When I click the debug link, the following appears:
0.04: add row query: select x.del, x.task_name, x.status, x.dependent_upon, x.task_scope, x.task_comments, x.task_lead, x.ck ck from ( select apex_item.checkbox(1,task_id) del, apex_item.text(2,task_name,30,70) TASK_NAME, apex_item.display_and_save(3,ht_tasks_getstatus(task_id)) STATUS, apex_item.select_list_from_lov(4,dependent_upon,'select task_name d, task_id r from ht_tasks where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID') DEPENDENT_UPON, apex_item.textarea(5,task_scope,4,40) TASK_SCOPE, apex_item.textarea(6,task_comments,4,40) TASK_COMMENTS, apex_item.select_list_from_lov(7,task_lead,'PEOPLE') TASK_LEAD, apex_item.hidden(8,project_id)|| apex_item.hidden(9,wwv_flow_item.md5(task_name,status,dependent_upon,task_scope,task_comments,task_lead)) ck from HT_TASKS_VIEW where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID union all select apex_item.checkbox(1,null) del, apex_item.text(2,null,30,70) TASK_NAME, apex_item.display_and_save(3,null) STATUS, apex_item.select_list_from_lov(4,null,'select task_name d, task_id r from ht_tasks where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID') DEPENDENT_UPON, apex_item.textarea(5,null,4,40) TASK_SCOPE, apex_item.textarea(6,null,4,40) TASK_COMMENTS, apex_item.select_list_from_lov(7,null,'PEOPLE') TASK_LEAD, apex_item.hidden(8,to_number(:P3_PROJECT_ID))|| apex_item.hidden(9,null) ck from dual) x

0.04: rows loop: 15 row(s)
report error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "COLLECT" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ;
So, it looks like the error is happening when it starts the loop to grab the rows. I'm not using a collection, so I'm assuming that for the pagination, Apex is using a collection internally, and somehow, somewhere, that's generating the error?
I've deleted the region and everything associated with it, buttons, processes, etc. and the rebuilt the region without the other 'stuff', but I still get the error. I'm completely lost now, as I really don't what else to try, other than dropping the page an trying to recreate it. But if that doesn't work, any idea what would?
Also, to log in and see the code, my workspace is wbfergus, and the id and pwd are both htmldb.
Thanks.
Bill Ferguson

Bill - Try apex_item.select_list_from_query when a query (not a named lov) is the source: apex_item.select_list_from_query(4,dependent_upon,'select task_name d, task_id r from ht_tasks where project_id = :P3_PROJECT_ID') DEPENDENT_UPON,BTW, nothing do do with collections in this case. The parsing hit a 'bulk collect' probably.

with Oracle Sql Developer 2.1 and 11g, but I get Error(6,1): PLS-00103: encountered the symbol "CREATE".
Note that the code above is cut and paste from the Oracle Docs!!! Is this a bug of SQL Developer?!?!?!

Justin,
Yep, I'm talking about SQL Developer (version 2.1.0.63), and when I refer to a PL/SQL window I mean a Code Worksheet as opposed to a SQL worksheet. (In the Code worksheet I've got the "gears" icon where I can compile or compile for debug.) It is the default editor that opens when I open a .pks file that has both my pl/sql spec and body in it.
So when I try to compile one of these PKS files that has the spec and body separated by the slash I get "Encountered the symbol "/". When I remove the slash and try to compile I get the error "Encountered the symbol CREATE".
I understand these errors, and understand that If I pasted this script into a SQL worksheet and used F5 the code will compile with the "/" in it.
Here is my question:
Can I work with a file in the Code worksheet that has both the spec and body in it? If so, how do I get around the two errors mentioned above? We've used TOAD to date here and I'd rather move to SQL Developer. Do I have to break apart my pl/sql code files into separate spec and body files to make this move?
Thanks,
Bruce
