Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool Parse Error - azure-synapse

Question

When execute the script below on Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool I get the error:
Parse error at line: 11, column: 1: Incorrect syntax near 'FOR'.
However, I if execute the same code on Azure Synapse Serverless Pool it works fine.
DECLARE
#EnrichedViewDatabase sysname,
#EnrichedViewSchema sysname,
#EnrichedColumnSuffix varchar(50),
#LanguageCode varchar(10),
#BaseTableSuffix varchar(50),
#PreviewOnly bit, --Indicate whether to preview the SQL Script (without creating the views) = 1 ; Create views = 0;
#CurrentDatabase sysname,
#CurrentDatabaseSchema sysname
SET #EnrichedViewDatabase = 'DedicatedSQLPool'
SET #EnrichedViewSchema = 'dbo'
SET #EnrichedColumnSuffix = 'code'
SET #LanguageCode = 1033
SET #BaseTableSuffix = ''
SET #PreviewOnly = 0
SET #CurrentDatabase = 'dataverse_montaguqa1_unq5a4857c03d0545c6b9ad616ca59a7'
SET #CurrentDatabaseSchema = 'dbo'
DECLARE #ColumnMetadata nvarchar(MAX), #ColumnMetadataSQL nvarchar(MAX)
--Define the SQL statement to retrieve column metadata from the Lake Database managed by Synapse Link for Dataverse
--Results will be stored as a JSON document in a variable
SET #ColumnMetadataSQL = 'SET #ColumnMetadataOUT = (
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA,
TABLE_NAME,
COLUMN_NAME,
ORDINAL_POSITION,

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = ''dbo''
AND TABLE_NAME NOT IN (''OptionsetMetadata'', ''GlobalOptionsetMetadata'',''StateMetadata'',''StatusMetadata'', ''TargetMetadata'')
AND TABLE_NAME LIKE ''%' + #BaseTableSuffix + '''
FOR JSON AUTO)'
DECLARE #ParmDefinition NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #ParmDefinition = N'#ColumnMetadataOUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT';
EXECUTE sp_executesql #ColumnMetadataSQL, #ParmDefinition, #ColumnMetadataOUT=#ColumnMetadata OUTPUT;
--Declare a variable to store a SQL statement for creating enriched views
DECLARE #SQL nvarchar(MAX) = ''
Any thoughts

For Clause is available in SQL server, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL MI.
It is not supported in Azure Synapse Analytics.

In synapse dedicated SQL pool, you can use concat and string_agg functions and create Json data manually instead of using For JSON auto. I tried this with sample data.
Sample source data:
Query to convert the table data in Json format:
select concat('{',string_agg(concat('{id:"',id,'",name:"',name,'"}'),','),'}')
as JSON_data from tab1
