Error, "ORA-00911 when compile dependent objects for debug session (12837)

When debugging a procedure by stepping through the process, the user encounters  the error message, "ORA-00911: invalid character".  Error did not occur in previous versions of TOAD.

Details:

Debugger was looking at some Oracle API code at the very bottom of the script because the debugger was asked to compile dependencies as well.

WORKAROUND:

1. Go to View | Options
2. In Toad Options window go to Procedure Editor | Debugging and under the Compile Dependencies, set option to 'No' or 'Prompt'.
3. Close and restart Toad and try debugging the script again.

NOTE: If set to 'Prompt', When debugging your procedure, choose NO when asked to compile the referenced objects.

STATUS:
This issue is fixed in TOAD 8.6.0.38. The latest version of Toad can be downloaded at http://support.quest.com/SUPPORT/index?page=downloads
