Invalid column name problem

Dear all,

                During I used sqlplus / svrmgrl, when I refer some table
column, oracle always said that "invalid column name", e.g. a table "dept" has the following structure
Column Name                    Null?    Type
------------------------------ -------- ----
DEPTNO                         NOT NULL NUMBER(38)
DNAME                          NOT NULL CHAR(30)
LOC                                     CHAR(30)

When I type "alter table dept add constraint chk_loc (LOC NOT NULL)", the error message "ORA-00904: invalid column name" appears. I have tried using different case and the problem still exists. Can anyone help me?

Best Regards,
