Another +1 for a good question. I got it right by sheer luck. I ignored the trailing semicolon bit earlier, mostly because I always forget them anyway... *blush*.
Seriously though, that's not the reason I'd though it was going to choke. Excellent to know. I've yet to be set loose in a place I can roll out 2k8 code in production so Merge and I aren't very familiar with each other. It's good to learn these little annoyances.
On a side note, this is why I'm roughly convinced I will include as little code as possible in any QotD I provide. I know there's been many questions that have hung people up with 'trickster' code, so I don't blame folks, but I think it takes away from the real purpose of the question.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.
