Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
I keep having problems when exicuting this file. It always gives me the error message "36: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string"
If someone could help me edit this it would be much appreciated.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This will continue adding numbers
# untill the total is greater than 1,000
#
if test $num1=0
  then
    {
        echo "Please enter two numbers."
        read num1 Total
        echo "The number you entered is $num1"
        Total = `expr $Total + $num1`
    }
  elif test $num1>0
    then
      {
        echo "The current value is $Total."
        echo "Please enter another number."
        read num1
        echo "The number you entered is $num1"
        Total = `expr $Total + $num1`
      }
  elif test $num1<0
    then
      {
        echo "I'm sorry, the value you entered is invalid"
        echo "Please enter a number that is greater than zero."
        read num1
        echo "The number you entered is $num1"
        Total = `expr $Total + $num1`"
      }
  else
      {
        echo "Total is greater than 1,000\n"
        echo "CAN NOT COMPUTE!!!!!\n"
        echo "System shutdown"
      }
fi

mpi_error_string

MPI_Error_string(3OpenMPI)												MPI_Error_string(3OpenMPI)

NAME

       MPI_Error_string  - Returns a string for a given error code.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Error_string(int errorcode, char *string, int *resultlen)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ERROR_STRING(ERRORCODE, STRING, RESULTLEN, IERROR)
	    INTEGER	   ERRORCODE, RESULTLEN, IERROR
	    CHARACTER*(*)  STRING

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void Get_error_string(int errorcode, char* name, int& resultlen)

INPUT PARAMETER

       errorcode Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       string	 Text that corresponds to the errorcode.

       resultlen Length of string.

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Returns	the  error  string  associated	with  an  error  code  or  class.  The	argument  string  must	represent storage that is at least
       MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING characters long.

       The number of characters actually written is returned in the output argument, resultlen.

ERRORS

       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
       tions  do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
       will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except  for
       I/O  function  errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be
       used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
