Your ORDER BY should read as GROUP BY instead.

I am doing:

WITH PREFIX AS
(SELECT DISTINCT ITNBR,SUBSTR(STID,1,1) FROM ITMRVA)
SELECT ITNBR,COUNT(*) FROM PREFIX ORDER BY ITNBR

... and it is giving me the error:
Token was not valid. Valid tokens: ( + * - ? : DAY RRN CASE CAST CHAR
DATE DAYS HASH HOUR LEFT TIME.

The cursor is placed between DISTINCT and ITNBR...
