PLS-112 encountered "PAREN".... on line 1!

900978Nov 18 2011 — edited Nov 18 2011
I have created a direct copy of an existing database. I imported all the schemas successfully, and now I am trying to re-create the materialized views.

Some of the views rely on a package that has problems compiling in the replica database but not in the original database. The exact error received is:

ORA-06553: PLS-103: Encountered the symbol "PAREN" when expecting one of the following:
<an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier>
ORA-06553: PLS-112: end-of-line in quoted identifier

I have tried compiling it from sql*plus and from within a script but the same error occurrs. I tried compiling only the header, and then the body, but the error remains in both.

The error would normally be rather self-explanatory, but when I open it in the SQL editor in Toad I am told the error is in the first line, which is "CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE <schema>.<package_name>".

This makes no sense to me at all! Can anyone help?

p.s. Oracle version is 9i
