Error in Query (EXCEPT)

Question

Dear Experts,
I Have Error in query

Except
Select Docnum from [dbo].[Opn_Stock] where U_ TransTypeStk=310000001
Show Error: Browse mode is invalid for statements containing a UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT operator.
Note: This query smoothly run in Sql 2005 but throw Error in SAP while execute in sap query generator.

The SBO generally inserts a for browse line at the end of the query. But not allways! E.g. probably your query would work if you refrase it in such a way:
Select TransNum from Oinm where transType=310000001
Except --union
Select Docnum from dbo.Opn_Stock where U_ TransTypeStk=310000001
That is it does not insert this line in case of a union, even in the comment part!
