When compiling a package body, the message "expected symbol name is missing" appears, but then it goes ahead and creates the package body. Anybody know what causes this?

I don't understand what you're asking for. In SQL*PLUS I run @x.pkb which is a standard text file containing my package body. It starts out CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY, same as others that don't have this problem.

If there is an ampersand in your code - even in a COMMENT - SQL*PLUS will look at it as a substitution variable, and therefore will expect a symbol name, which of course it won't find.
