How to create schem

Hello all,
I've always tried to write my SQL script so that they could run
multiple times without error so when I was creating a new schema i get
an error
USE AdventureWorks
GO
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.schemas where [name] = 'temp')
CREATE SCHEMA temp AUTHORIZATION dbo
--END IF
GO
this code works
USE AdventureWorks
GO
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.schemas where [name] = 'temp')
PRINT 'CREATE SCHEMA temp AUTHORIZATION dbo'
--END IF
GO
and this code works
USE AdventureWorks
GO
CREATE SCHEMA temp AUTHORIZATION dbo
GO
can anyone shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
HJTry something like:
USE AdventureWorks
GO
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.schemas where [name] =
'temp')
EXEC('CREATE SCHEMA temp AUTHORIZATION dbo')
