Please use CODE-tags when you display code, data or logs. It really enchances readability, formatting and preserves special characters. It could happen that you might get a warning or a charge on bits of your forum account if you proceed like that

I am not sure but I have something similar on AIX where I have only a plain sed. It seems it is expecting the commands inside the curled bracket one per line. Here the problem I get like you got:
Code:
> sed -e :a -e '/&$/ {N; s/&\n//}; ta' infile
sed: 0602-404 Function /&$/ {N; s/&\n//}; ta cannot be parsed.
Here changed so it is working:
Code:
$> sed -e :a -e '/&$/ {
> N
> s/&\n//
> }
> ta' infile

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
