Trouble Creating View Using Derived Values From With

Question

I want to use the two values derived from the sql statements in my WITH to use in a view. This is my code:
WITH a AS(
SELECT
CASE
WHEN (SELECT stvterm_code
FROM stvterm
WHERE sysdate >= stvterm_start_date
AND sysdate <= stvterm_end_date) IS NOT NULL
THEN (SELECT stvterm_code
FROM stvterm
WHERE sysdate >= stvterm_start_date
AND sysdate <= stvterm_end_date)
ELSE
(SELECT min(stvterm_code)
FROM stvterm
WHERE stvterm_start_date > sysdate)
END cur_term
FROM dual),
b AS (
SELECT
CASE
WHEN (SELECT substr(cur_term,5, 2) FROM a) = '60' OR (SELECT substr(cur_term,5, 2) FROM a) = '40'
THEN (SELECT substr(cur_term,0, 4)||'20' FROM a)
WHEN (SELECT substr(cur_term,5, 2) FROM a) = '20'
THEN (SELECT to_char(to_number(cur_term)-100) FROM a)
END endof_prior_aidy_term
FROM dual
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW jbartling.current_term AS
SELECT cur_term, endof_prior_aidy_term
FROM a,bHowever, I get the error ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword. Is it possible to use WITH like this in creating a view? If not can someone show me another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Hi,
You need to put the CREATE at top, i.e
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW jbartling.current_term AS
WITH a
SELECT ..  FROM a,bRegards
