Sometimes, the error will be reported on a line that begins an operation such as 'INSERT INTO ...' where the actual error may be on a continuation line such as part of the 'where' clause. Other factors that can cause the error to be reported on another line are improper terminators such as 'end..end if..end loop..or the semicolon'. An improper (or missing) terminator can cause Oracle to keep interpreting until finds something fatal which causes it to stop.
