:mad:NOTE!!! In the 4.0.10 release I introduced a change to substitution variables that required you to replace any double periods following a substitution variable with a single period. This was a mistake and this change has been reverted. If you have not yet upgraded to 4.0.10 do nothing. If you are on v4.0.10 please revert all substitution variables with a single trailing period to have double trailing periods. For example...
CREATE SYNONYM my_synonym for &owning_schema.some_table;
should be changed back to
CREATE SYNONYM my_synonym for &owning_schema..some_table;
A substitution variable does NOT require a trailing period, but if you need one, you must have two as the first one will be swallowed. This behavior is consistent with other SQL tools including SQL Plus, SQL Developer, and TOAD. If you are unsure about this change please ask. Please accept my sincere apology for the mistake.
