DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS causes error parsing

[djfoxer]

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS dbo.Procedure

causes dialog:

Errors found. Continue?
Errors found during SQL parsing. Would you like to apply formatting anyway?
Yes No

[sfabrey]

Same with Tables, Views, etc.

If you click "Yes" it puts a couple line breaks before the "IF"

That may be because the "DROP object IF EXISTS" trick is specific to Microsoft SQL Server, it's not ANSI Standard T-SQL.
