Nothing seems obviously wrong which leads me to suspect some nonprinting
character issues. Try writing/rebuilding the query in small increments
until you get the error again then manually retype the last added chunk.
Or just take the opportunity to use a more conventional explicit ANSI join
syntax and move the join condition to the ON clause, getting rid of the
where clause with the apparent issue.
