Simple Calculation

I am getting an error : Unexpected End of Function Definition
when I try to compile the following macro:

#pragma rtGlobals=1     // Use modern global access method.
Menu "Macros"
    "DO Calibration Point Calculator", PointCalculator()
End
 
Function PointCalculator()
    variable A = 15, tau = 15, x0 = 23, y0 = -0.5
    variable lifetime = 60, concentration = 20
    Prompt A, "A : "
    Prompt tau, "Tau : "
    Prompt x0, "x0 : "
    Prompt y0, "y0 : "
    DOPrompt "Coefficients", A, tau, x0, y0
    Prompt lifetime, "Enter a lifetime value : "
    DOPrompt "Lifetime Input", lifetime
    concentration = y0 + A*exp(-(lifetime-x0)/tau)


Basically, heres what the macro is supposed to do:
- get an input from the user "lifetime". This should just be some numerical value
- use the formula y = y0 +A*exp(-(x-x0)/tau)
- assign this y value to the variable "concentration"

Do you know why I am getting this error?

end


Have you missed putting an "end" statement for the function or was this just a typo in posting?

.... wow, now I feel stupid.
I can write all that and then leave off the easy part.
Oh well, thanks for catching that.
