Oracle Error Message
PLS-00486: select list cannot be enclosed in parentheses
Reason for the Error
In a SELECT statement, the select list was enclosed in parentheses, as in: SELECT (deptno, dname, loc) FROM dept INTO … This breaks the rules of SQL syntax. Parentheses are not required because the keywords SELECT and FROM delimit the select list.
Solution
Remove the parentheses enclosing the select list.
