How about this for an "explanation" then...

...the syntax error is not being caught by most (2) but is by 1, so the likelihood is that one is using a different version or SP level than the other two.

Your original wasn't clear as to which line it was failing on, but there being a syntax problem in one (the second) suggests that it is that line that causes the problem.

It would be wise to fix any syntax error regardless of other circumstances.

good luck
