VIM get E488 Trailing characters

Question

I try to add author and some other information using F4.

but when i open *.c or other files,(not *.sh)，and push F4，it will display E488 Trailing characters.

Also, when try to update the information, it meets E20 Mark not set.

And more question, when i try to using let suff = expand("%:e") to get java filename extension, then if suff == "java" and find that suff doesn't equal to "java", why?

This is my vim configure:

" Add Author Information
map <F4> :call TitleDet()<CR>'s

function AddTitle()
    call append(0,"/*========================================")
    call append(1,"#")
    call append(2,"# Author: xxx ")
    call append(3,"#")
    call append(4,"# Email: xxx@gmail.com")
    call append(5,"#")
    call append(6,"# Last modified: ".strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"))
    call append(7,"#")
    call append(8,"# Filename: ".expand("%:t"))
    call append(9,"#")
    call append(10,"# Description: ")
    call append(11,"#")
    call append(12,"======================================*/")
    call append(13,"");
    echohl WarningMsg | echo "Successful in adding the copyright." | echohl None
endfunction

Answer 1

Remove the trailing ; from this line:

call append(13,"");
