Greetings all,

I use the following code for my MS Access database to get a variety of date values.

I am trying to use it for SQL Server for the first time and I am getting Incorrect syntax near '\'.

Below is the code. Any help is appreciated.

SELECT 'Inmate' as RecordType,
(Birth_Date \ 10000 ) AS BYear, ( (Birth_Date MOD 10000) \ 100) AS BMonth, (Birth_Date MOD 100) AS BDate, * From Inmates
UNION SELECT 'Parolee' as RecordType,
(Birth_Date \ 10000 ) AS BYear, ( (Birth_Date MOD 10000)\ 100) AS BMonth, (Birth_Date MOD 100) AS BDate, * FROM Probationers;
