Awk in Shell Script Error: Unexpected End of File

I received an error stating: "line 32 (final line): syntax error: unexpected end of file". I couldn't find the source of the error.

First input for the script: Input file name

Second input for the script: Employee name

Second column of the input file: Employee name

Fifth column of the input file: Salary

Sixth column of the input file: Date of joining


Below is my script:

# Check whether or not the command has two arguments

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then

   echo "You must enter 2 arguments!\n"

   echo "Application is now exiting..."

   exit

fi



# Check whether or not the employee name supplied by the user is available in the input file

awk -v employee_name=$2 -v is_employee_available=0 -v year=0 -v new_salary=0 

'BEGIN{FS="|"}

{

   if(employee_name == $2) {

      is_employee_available=1;

      year=strtonum(substr($6,8,11));

      if(year==1990) 

         new_salary=$5+2000;     

      else if(year==1991) 

         new_salary=$5+1500; 

      else if(year==1992) 

         new_salary=$5+1000; 

      else if(year>1992) 

         new_salary=$5+500;   

      else 

         print "Invalid year of joining!";    

   }

}

END

{ 

   if(is_employee_available==0)

      print "The provided employee does not exist!"; 

}' $1

Thank you.

awk -v employee_name=$2 -v is_employee_available=0 -v year=0 -v new_salary=0 

'BEGIN{FS="|"}
^
Because of this

To 

awk -v employee_name="$2" -v is_employee_available="0" -v year="0" -v new_salary="0" '
BEGIN{FS="|"}

OR

awk -v employee_name="$2" -v is_employee_available="0" -v year="0" -v new_salary="0" \
\
'BEGIN{FS="|"}

and

(with this you will get : END blocks must have an action part)

END

{

To

END{

OR

END\
\
{

and ( quoting is good practice )

}' $1

To

}' "$1"
