Help,

I downloaded a backup script and run it in SQLPlus, the last lines gave an ORA-00923 error: FROM keyword not found where expected

What is wrong in the lines below and why does it fail ??

select 'echo '||' ' ' ' ||'BACKUPS are now COMPLETE !'||' ' ' ' from dual;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

select 'echo '||' ' ' ' ||'Your RESTORE script is located at '||'/bckup/rdbms'||'/coldrest.lst !'|| ' ' ' ' from dual;

                    *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Thank in advance,
