outer joins in MSSQL

[mkepick]

migrated databases from sybase to mssql, migration exported sybase written
queries written with the application build in query tool and imported to mssql
databases. all db and tables migrated without errors. Regular queries without
outer joins work fine but the outer join queries are failing with the following message: Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver SQL Server Query contain an
outer-join request that is not permitted. I think the MSSQL join the was passed
from sybase to mssql does not like the *.
WHERE (B.processing_y r =2007 AND B.ldr_entity_id ='111')
AND (C.ldr_entity_i d*=A.ldr_entity _id AND B.ldr_entity_id *=C.ldr_entity_ id AND B.ull_prime*=C. ull_prime)

Can I replace the * with something that mssql recogonizes as a outer join.
Thanks

try something like

select c,blah, b.blah, a.blah

FROM tableC C left outer join TableA on C.ldr_entity_id =A.ldr_entity_id
    right outer join tableB on B.ldr_entity_id*=C.ldr_entity_id AND B.ull_prime*=C.ull_prime

WHERE (B.processing_yr =2007 AND B.ldr_entity_id ='111')
