There's nothing wrong with those two lines. BEGIN and END are syntactically no different from any other pattern. So long as the corresponding action begins on the same line (the opening curly brace is sufficient), it's fine.

Example:
Code:
$ cat beginend.awk 
BEGIN {
    print "begin"
}

END {
    print "end"
}

$ echo | awk -f beginend.awk 
begin
end

end

END(7)								   SQL Commands 							    END(7)

NAME

       END - commit the current transaction

SYNOPSIS

       END [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

DESCRIPTION

       END  commits  the  current  transaction. All changes made by the transaction become visible to others and are guaranteed to be durable if a
       crash occurs. This command is a PostgreSQL extension that is equivalent to COMMIT [commit(7)].

PARAMETERS

       WORK

       TRANSACTION
	      Optional key words. They have no effect.

NOTES

       Use ROLLBACK [rollback(7)] to abort a transaction.

       Issuing END when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will provoke a warning message.

EXAMPLES

       To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:

       END;

COMPATIBILITY

       END is a PostgreSQL extension that provides functionality equivalent to COMMIT [commit(7)], which is specified in the SQL standard.

SEE ALSO

       BEGIN [begin(7)], COMMIT [commit(7)], ROLLBACK [rollback(7)]
