I think I got it.

Are you getting an error while trying to COMPILE the code, as opposed to running the SQL query?

I’m going to bet that you’re using C#, and that you should do multi-line strings with an @-symbol before the “-symbol. Such as this:

string blabla = @"
     hello
     there
";

Then of course you need it also when you open up the string after branchId
