Your script seems to have a considerable disregard for syntax. I suggest you start with some minimal segments of your code and just see if they work.

Alright, here you go. I turned it further into a bash/ksh kind of script:
Code:
value=$1
for (( magn=1;value>magn*10; magn*=10 ))
do
  (( digit=(value/magn)%10 ))
  if (( digit >= 5 ))
  then
    (( value+=(10-digit)*magn ))
  else
    (( value-=(digit*magn) ))
  fi
done
echo $value

It doesn't work right, but at least it runs Smilie
