The error:
LINE 488: ...2832,1,default,'85250 Red House Rd','Paisley','OR','97636')
is giving you the line number and the data:
a) Navigate to that line number using whatever method Joe has for that.
b) Search for '85250 Red House Rd'.
The input file is 488 lines (presumably, since Rich said the file should
insert 488 rows). It seems like too much of a coincidence that the last
character of the last line is really the error. My guess is that there
This assumes that there where only INSERT lines and that each INSERT was
only one line. I have bit by those assumptions before, hence my
suggestion to actually find line 488.
is an unmatched character, perhaps a parenthesis, that is throwing off
the parser because it doesn't expect the statement to terminate yet.
Maybe that unmatched char really is on the last line, but '85250 Red
House Rd' doesn't seem like the issue. I don't know anything about the
joe editor, but I'd hope that any decent editor with syntax highlighting
would make it apparent where things went awry.
