    As @FLMike pointed out you should remove the %vDocumentNo% after the second to last End if. 

    What gives the syntax error is percent signs in the SAP elements (rows 31 and 33). Since PAD reads percent signs as variable starts and ends signs it will give syntax error since it thinks you didn't close the variable referencing. Add another percent sign and it reads it as one. Like so:


    Also make sure its intentional to have two bouble quotes around vDocumentNo -variable
