I’m getting this error when I’m trying to run this script. I haven’t seen it before, any ideas?

[code]\<?xml version="1.0" ?\>  
  
  
def onStart(chart, step):  
“”"  
This will run when the step starts, before any  
other action.

```
Arguments:
	chart: A reference to the chart's scope.
	step: A reference to this step's scope.
"""
value0=0
chart.historyID = system.tag.read(chart.tagPath+"/HistoryID").value
system.db.runPrepUpdate("\
	UPDATE\
		PouHeader\
	SET\
		StatusID = 3,\
		KitLocationID = NULL\
	WHERE PHID = ?",
	[chart.phID], chart.databaseName)
system.db.runPrepUpdate("\
	UPDATE\
		CallButtonHistory\
	SET\
		Tstamp_off = ?,\
		TerminationType = 1\
	WHERE\
		CallButtonHistoryID = ?,"
	[system.date.now(), chart.historyID], chart.databaseName)
	
system.tag.write(chart.tagPath+"/Node/09_DORedLight",value0)</start-script>
</step>

```

[/code]

Comma in the wrong place here:

```auto
CallButtonHistoryID = ?,"
      [system.date.now(), chart.historyID], chart.databaseName)
```

Should be outside the quote.
