I have the following query and for some reason when I try to run it, it tells me there is an incorrect syntax near the 'union' statement. Can you tell me what is wrong with this?

SELECT MDN,
DATEPART(d,CallDate) as CallDate,
DATEPART(hh,CallDate) as Hour,
sum(ceiling((Cast(DurationSeconds as Decimal)/60))) as Minutes
FROM VoiceCallDetailRecord
WHERE DurationSeconds > 0 and CallDate >= '02/19/2007' and calldate < '03/19/2007' and COS = 3
AND (((CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '21:00:00' AND '23:59:59') OR (CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '00:00:00' AND '07:00:00'))
OR DATEPART(weekday, CallDate) in (1,7)) and NOT (Left(Endpoint,3) IN ('011')
or (Left(Endpoint,4) IN ('1340','1876','1868','1809',
'1246','1242','1780','1403',
'1250','1604','1807','1519',
'1204','1506','1709','1867',
'1902','1705','1613','1416',
'1905','1902','1514','1450',
'1418','1819','1306','1867')))
order BY DATEPART(d,CallDate), DATEPART(hh,CallDate), MDN
UNION
SELECT MDN,
DATEPART(d,CallDate) as CallDate,
DATEPART(hh,CallDate) as Hour,
sum(ceiling((Cast(DurationSeconds as Decimal)/60))) as Minutes
FROM ZeroChargeVCDRecord
WHERE DurationSeconds > 0 and CallDate >= '02/19/2007' and calldate < '03/19/2007' and COS = 3
AND (((CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '21:00:00' AND '23:59:59') OR (CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '00:00:00' AND '07:00:00'))
OR DATEPART(weekday, CallDate) in (1,7)) and NOT (Left(Endpoint,3) IN ('011')
or (Left(Endpoint,4) IN ('1340','1876','1868','1809',

order BY DATEPART(d,CallDate), DATEPART(hh,CallDate), MDN

When I eliminate the 1st Order By statement right before the union clause I get an error as follows:
Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'VoiceCallDetailRecord.CallDate' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

if you use the SUM function in a query, you must use a GROUP BY.

I eliminated all the sum functions in the query and put in the Order By statement and I am still getting a incorrect syntax error near "union" statement error. This is what I did:

SELECT
DATEPART(d,CallDate) as CallDate,
DATEPART(hh,CallDate) as Hour,
(ceiling((Cast(DurationSeconds as Decimal)/60))) as Minutes
FROM VoiceCallDetailRecord
WHERE DurationSeconds > 0 and CallDate >= '02/19/2007' and calldate < '03/19/2007' and COS = 3
AND (((CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '21:00:00' AND '23:59:59') OR (CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '00:00:00' AND '07:00:00'))
OR DATEPART(weekday, CallDate) in (1,7)) and NOT (Left(Endpoint,3) IN ('011')
or (Left(Endpoint,4) IN ('1340','1876','1868','1809',
'1246','1242','1780','1403',
'1250','1604','1807','1519',
'1204','1506','1709','1867',
'1902','1705','1613','1416',
'1905','1902','1514','1450',
'1418','1819','1306','1867')))
order BY DATEPART(d,CallDate), DATEPART(hh,CallDate), MDN
union
SELECT MDN,
DATEPART(d,CallDate) as CallDate,
DATEPART(hh,CallDate) as Hour,
(ceiling((Cast(DurationSeconds as Decimal)/60))) as Minutes
FROM ZeroChargeVCDRecord
WHERE DurationSeconds > 0 and CallDate >= '02/19/2007' and calldate < '03/19/2007' and COS = 3
AND (((CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '21:00:00' AND '23:59:59') OR (CONVERT(varchar, CallDate, 108) Between '00:00:00' AND '07:00:00'))
OR DATEPART(weekday, CallDate) in (1,7)) and NOT (Left(Endpoint,3) IN ('011')
or (Left(Endpoint,4) IN ('1340','1876','1868','1809',
'1246','1242','1780','1403',
'1250','1604','1807','1519',
'1204','1506','1709','1867',

'1905','1902','1514','1450',
'1418','1819','1306','1867')))
order BY DATEPART(d,CallDate), DATEPART(hh,CallDate), MDN
