That works fine for me. However, I can reproduce the syntax error
if I misspell "as":
# select current_date as today , extract(week from
current_date) ss weeknbyear;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "weeknbyear"
LINE 2: current_date) ss weeknbyear;
^
This leads me to suspect that you have some weird invisible character
(non-break space, zero-width space, etc) adjacent to "as". Postgres
is not terribly forgiving of non-ASCII whitespace.
