incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS' - sql-server-2005

Question

Why do i receive a syntax error as such: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'
I am using microsoft visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005
string strSql =
"SELECT a.MCode, a.NameOfModule, a.Mod_Abbreviation, dt.ModuleCode,
dt.Course, dt.Stage, dt.ModuleGrpFrom, dt.ModuleGrpTo, dt.GrpName,
dt.GrpType, dt.StaffID, dt.AcadYear, dt.AcadSemester,
dt.TotalHour, dt.WeeklyLectHr, dt.WeeklyPractHr, dt.WeeklyTutHr,
dt.ModuleLeader, 0 AS TotalTeach, '' AS ModuleGroups, '' AS ML, 0 AS L, 0 AS P, 0 AS T, 1 AS NofGrp, '' AS TotalTeachUnit" +
"FROM (SELECT * FROM
(SELECT a.ModuleCode, a.Course, a.Stage, a.ModuleGrpFrom,
a.ModuleGrpTo, a.GrpName, a.GrpType, a.StaffID, b.AcadYear,
b.AcadSemester, b.TotalHour, b.WeeklyLectHr, b.WeeklyPractHr,
b.WeeklyTutHr, b.ModuleLeader
FROM ModuleStrGrp a
LEFT JOIN ModuleStr b ON a.AcadYear = b.AcadYear
AND a.AcadSemester = b.AcadSemester
AND a.Course = b.Course
AND a.ModuleCode = b.ModuleCode) AS MSG
INNER JOIN Parameter Para ON MSG.Course = Para.Paracode2) AS dt
LEFT JOIN Module a ON dt.ModuleCode = a.MCode" +
"WHERE dt.AcadYear LIKE AcadYear AND dt.AcadSemester LIKE AcadSemester
AND dt.Course LIKE Course AND dt.Stage LIKE Stage AND dt.StaffID LIKE Staff
AND dt.SpecGrp LIKE Specialisation" +
"ORDER BY dt.ModuleCode, dt.GrpType";

Answer 1

Missing spaces.
Your code is creating the string
"... , '' AS TotalTeachUnitFROM (SELECT * ..."
Same goes for the other lines, they need spaces between them.

Answer 2

I won't answer your question, but I'll give you a strategy:
copy the contents of the strSql string to the clipboard, then to a query in SQL Management Studio, and run it there.
Then it will actually tell you which "AS" is causing the problem. Most likely it's a missing space or appostraphe or comma.

Answer 3

make "FROM ... as " FROM ...
right now it is ... AS TotalTeachUnitFROM ...

Answer 4

You are missing spaces.
"...a ON dt.ModuleCode = a.MCode" +
"FROM (SELECT * FROM ..."
results in
"...a ON dt.ModuleCode = a.MCodeFROM (SELECT * FROM ..."
^
space missing

Answer 5

Rather use # instead of +
string strSql = #"SELECT a.MCode, a.NameOfModule, a.Mod_Abbreviation, dt.ModuleCode, dt.Course, dt.Stage, dt.ModuleGrpFrom, dt.ModuleGrpTo, dt.GrpName, dt.GrpType, dt.StaffID, dt.AcadYear, dt.AcadSemester, dt.TotalHour, dt.WeeklyLectHr, dt.WeeklyPractHr, dt.WeeklyTutHr, dt.ModuleLeader, 0 AS TotalTeach, '' AS ModuleGroups, '' AS ML, 0 AS L, 0 AS P, 0 AS T, 1 AS NofGrp, '' AS TotalTeachUnit
FROM (SELECT * FROM (SELECT a.ModuleCode, a.Course, a.Stage, a.ModuleGrpFrom, a.ModuleGrpTo, a.GrpName, a.GrpType, a.StaffID, b.AcadYear, b.AcadSemester, b.TotalHour, b.WeeklyLectHr, b.WeeklyPractHr, b.WeeklyTutHr, b.ModuleLeader FROM ModuleStrGrp a LEFT JOIN ModuleStr b ON a.AcadYear = b.AcadYear AND a.AcadSemester = b.AcadSemester AND a.Course = b.Course AND a.ModuleCode = b.ModuleCode) AS MSG INNER JOIN Parameter Para ON MSG.Course = Para.Paracode2) AS dt LEFT JOIN Module a ON dt.ModuleCode = a.MCode
WHERE dt.AcadYear LIKE AcadYear AND dt.AcadSemester LIKE AcadSemester AND dt.Course LIKE Course AND dt.Stage LIKE Stage AND dt.StaffID LIKE Staff AND dt.SpecGrp LIKE Specialisation
ORDER BY dt.ModuleCode, dt.GrpType";
