Here is a snippet of code I used in a report that ran smoothly:

((b.REC_CHNG_CD IN ('A','C') and

  (a.LN_BA > 0 and

      &elapse >=0 ) and

        (a.iv_id not like 'Z%' or

         a.iv_id not like 'A%') and

         b.hz_ins_co_cd in ('NEWLN','MAINT','')));

I have another report that is very similar although some of the fields are different.  It seems pretty straight forward but I am getting

((d.REC_CHNG_CD IN ('A','C') and

        (a.LN_BA >0 and

             d.LN_HAZARD_TABLE_FG = 'N'  and

    (a.ix_id not in('Cx2','d01','f10','Z55') or

         a.iv_id not like 'F%') and

      (a.PR_TYPE_CD not in('C','3') and

             b.ins_co_cd in ('NEWLN','MAINT','')));

                                                      _

                                                       22

                                                       76

Your parentheses are not balanced, hence the syntax error.

The enhanced editor key combination of Ctrl ( when the cursor is placed on a paranthesis, bracket or brace will find the matching one. If the cursor doesn't move then it is unbalanced.
