It seems you have added only % before and after URL.

syntax would be like this %’htpps://google.com’%

%'Link goes here'%

missing single quote in your screenshot.

Another workaround:
In PAD, if you have any variables contains this "%" then PAD will understand it as their variables. So, in your cases, PAD recognizes these % and try to parses the variable. Then it will show the syntax error.
I think you can just decode your URL before PAD can use it.

Thanks and hope it can help you.

Hi @ps_noob_to_pro !

As seen in your link there is % sign. This % sign is part of variable initialization in PAD. All variables are enclosed in two percent signs like this:

%NewVar%: this is a variable which will contain some value in it.

Now, wherever you see percent sign like this:

% just add '%'% after this.

Like given below:

Before:

After:

This will solve the error. I hope this helps.
