Nothing is obviously wrong. I ran it on my machine (with minor changes, 
such as making the variable @jaar instead of jaar) and it worked 
perfectly. Because the drop statement is so obviously correct 

DROP VIEW Jaar

(doesn't get much simpler) I think I'd make sure that you're putting 
quotation marks on correctly, etc. In other words, look for syntax 
errors. :)
