We can’t tell without seeing the rest of the script, but it’s probably an indentation error (or you’re missing a `:` at the end of an expression–something like that). There was a similar thread recently, you might try this:

> [@Indentation error in scripts](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/indentation-error-in-scripts/109206/4):
>
> Right click in the editor space -\> appearance -\> whitespace. This should allow you to determine if you have mixed spaces and tabs. Also make sure you aren't missing any colons or brackets.
