    (select max(val) as abccol from abc where -----)


    FROM   ----- WHERE
    _____________________

    (sub query can return multiple rows with multiple columns & alias to column and sub query it self in mandatory)

    Correct:
    ______________
    (select -------- From ( select abccol,abccol2,max(abc) as [Col Alias] from abc where ----- ) as table1 where ----------
    Ex. output:

    _______ _______ _________
    row 1    abc    223
