It sounds like you were typing the function interactively and didn't
close it (or didn't close a for loop, or some other block). So close
it, endfunction, endfor, endif, whatever. It's hard to know for sure
without knowing what you typed and how and where.

Typing functions interactively into the prompt is ok for short things,
but you probably want to find yourself a text editor and type your
code in there.
