Hi,

Thankyou for everyones reply.

I understand that it could been hard to figure out the exactly what my sql statement was doing, but it consisted of only the one command, an insert statement pulling data from another table (ie. the select statement) so placing a ';' at end of line would have separated the command into 2.

Still relatively ignorant when it comes to oracle, I did come to realise that I had exceeded the line buffer (256 characters) that exists in sql*plus which I knew but became mixed up in all the errors I was receiving yesterday
(and lack of sleep). Because originally all insert statements existed in a
script file and this table threw a different error so when tested on command line, at that point it didn't become provalent that it exceeded the line buffer.

Okay,

I surely read your emails 3 times to ensure that I am not missing something. This seems to me a script of DML statements. So you have *semicolon after first statement missing* somehow. Oracle is dumb enough to report that as a comma missing.

You need a ; after EXPORTDATE)
