I can't understand the Error Message of: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following: ( - +

Jia Cin WongAug 21 2024

Hi, I have a PL/SQL Command Line that is name SYSTEM_CRUD.sql in my github repo:https://github.com/bryanwong69420/PL-SQL.git . The SYSTEM_CRUD.sql is for creating the CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE Operation for the table in the SYSTEM_CONNECT's Global terrorism table. My problem is when I had run my SYSTEM_CONNECT first just to initialize the GlobalTerrorism Table followed by running the SYSTEM_CRUD to insert the value into it but after I insert the value into it, it just out put this error.
