KSH nested loops?

KSH isn't my strong suit but it's what my company has to offer. I've got a script with two nested loops, a FOR and UNTIL, and that works fine. When I add a CASE into the mix I end up getting "Unexpected 'done' at line xx" errors. Any suggestions on this?


Code:
for divi in at ce ci cm co de di fl fr jc ks lo mi ma qf ra sm ho da sw;do
typeset -Z3 store

store=1                                                                      
until [[ $store -eq 999 ]];do                                                   
nslookup moxa1.$divi$store.company.com 2> /dev/null | sed -n '4,5p' >> ~/moxas 

if $store = 999 then
	case $divi in
		"at")
		echo "NAME=CE001 CENTRAL ----------; CT=TELNET; IP=1.1.1.1" >> ~/moxas 
			;;
		"ce") 
		echo "NAME=CI001 CINCINNATI ----------; CT=TELNET; IP=1.1.1.1" >> ~/moxas 
			;;
		"ci") 

esac	

((store=store+1))
                                                                                                                                        
done 
done


The CASE statement actually has 18 options but I cut them out here for brevity.

You are missing the "fi" for the "if" statement.

Holy crap that's a boneheaded mistake, thanks. How ever now I'm getting 'fi' unexpected.

Your "if" statement:
Code:
if [[ $store = 999 ]] then
