Syntax Error message

Question

can someone please check this simple SQL table creation command for me and advice why the system generates an error message everytime this is excuted in Oracle
CREATE TABLE PRODUCT (
P_CODE VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
P_DESCRIPT VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL,
P_INDATE DATE NOT NULL,
P_ONHAND SMALLINT NOT NULL,
P_MIN SMALLINT NOT NULL,
P_PRICE NUMBER(8,2) NOT NULL,
P_DISCOUNT NUMBER(5,2) NOT NULL,
V_CODE INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY (P_CODE));
FOREIGN KEY (V_CODE) REFERENCES VENDOR
ON DELETE RESTRICT
ON UPDATE CASCADE);
The first thing it tells me is that there is a syntax error on line 1.

The first thing it tells me is that there is a syntax error on line 1.you have a closing parenthesis and a semi-colon after the primary key definition. The means it is trying to parse the foreign key clause a a new statement, hence the syntax error.
You don't say which tool you are using, but I can't get it to produce that particular error in SQLDeveloper.
Syntax error at line 1 usually implies something wrong in a PL/SQL block. How are you executing this?
