Hi,
I am trying to execute a .sql from unix.the .sql scripts consists of a delete part and a merge part. The delete part works fine but the merge part gives me an error. When I execute the merge statement in the database using PL/SQL Developer, it works fine. But when I execute through sqlplus from unix, it throws this error:
SP2-0042:unknown command ")"src - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0042:unknown command "on" - rest of line ignored.
Error at line 1:
ORA-00928:missing SELECT keyword
I have attached my script here.
Pls advise. Why is it so that it is working fine in the database but not through unix.
Thanks.

Hi, I am really sorry about the missing comma, I had edited the column names and reduced their number (the actual script has around 50-60 columns) to include in the forum, so the missing comma is my mistake here while pasting, forgive me for that. The script is working absolutely fine in PL/SQL Developer because I am executing it manually these days to process my jobs. But in sqlplus, it is throwing me the "missing select keyword" error and I really am puzzled as to what could be causing this error?

Sorry for the inconvenience on account of my being a newbie. I hope I have taken care of all that you asked for now.
1.My Oracle version is 10g - 10.2.0.3.0
2.I got the exact same error while executing the merge statement from SQL*Plus after "set echo on".
SP2-0042 unknown command ") SRC"- rest of line ignored
SP2-0042 unknown command "ON"- rest of line ignored
error at line 1:
ORA-00928:missing Select keyword
