Use of Begin IF ,END IF END not working in the sql script

Hi
I have written a script .The script runs properly if i write sql queries .But if i use PLSQL commands of BEGIN if end if , end ,then on running the script the comamds are getting printed on the prompt .

Ex :temp.sql

Code:
[define emp_no = &empno 
 
select * from emp where empno = &emp_no;
 
ACCEPT   i_sum    PROMPT 'Do you want the total sal  of all emp? (y;n): ';

 BEGIN
        IF UPPER('&i_sum') = 'Y' THEN
           select sum(sal) from emp ;
         END IF;
   END ;
]

After connecting to the databse at the sql prompt i type @temp.sql .
The fisrt query runs properly .
But the code from BEGIN to END doesnt run it just dispalys on sql prompt .
Please suggest what am i missing .

END(7)							  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation						    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(7). PARAMETERS
WORK, TRANSACTION Optional key words. They have no effect. NOTES
Use 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(7), which is specified in the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
BEGIN(7), COMMIT(7), ROLLBACK(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 2014-02-17 END(7)
