That is invalid syntax  You are mixing relational expressions with scalar operators  OR   Specifically you cannot combine expr IN  select      OR  select       You probably want expr IN  select      OR expr IN  select       Using union would also work  expr IN  select    UNION select

Your problem might be here   OR                                                       SELECT m ResourceNo FROM JobMember m                             JOIN JobTask t ON t JobTaskNo   m JobTaskNo                             WHERE t TaskManagerNo    UserResourceNo                             OR                             t AlternateTaskManagerNo    UserResourceNo                             try changing to  OR r ResourceNo IN                                                       SELECT m ResourceNo FROM JobMember m                             JOIN JobTask t ON t JobTaskNo   m JobTaskNo                             WHERE t TaskManagerNo    UserResourceNo                             OR                             t AlternateTaskManagerNo    UserResourceNo

YOu can also rewrite it like this  FROM Resource r WHERE r ResourceNo IN                        SELECT m ResourceNo FROM JobMember m             JOIN Job j ON j JobNo   m JobNo             WHERE j ProjectManagerNo    UserResourceNo              OR             j AlternateProjectManagerNo    UserResourceNo              Union All              SELECT m ResourceNo FROM JobMember m             JOIN JobTask t ON t JobTaskNo   m JobTaskNo             WHERE t TaskManagerNo    UserResourceNo             OR             t AlternateTaskManagerNo    UserResourceNo              Also a return table is expected in your RETURN statement
