The correct syntax for creating table in Oracle is

  CREATE TABLE table_name
( 
  column1 datatype [ NULL | NOT NULL ],
  column2 datatype [ NULL | NOT NULL ],
  ...
  column_n datatype [ NULL | NOT NULL ]
);

So, just remove the square brackets from column name and I think you should write your query as follows

CREATE TABLE S_6500_67_SNAPSHOT_ROWDATA_201(MATERIAL varchar2(2000), OBJVERS varchar2(2000), CHANGED varchar2(2000), AF_COLOR varchar2(2000), AF_FCOCO varchar2(2000), AF_GENDER varchar2(2000), PROD_HIER varchar2(2000),  WIDTH decimal)
