Hello All, I am having a problem with an “if loop” within a “while loop” in my Korn Shell program. The basic concept of the program is that it searches for the existence of a series of load files in a load directory, and once it finds one of these files, it begins the following process: ·Creates a status configuration file in a specified directory. ·Performs a prompt less ssh of the file to a load status directory in another database. ·Initializing a Korn Shell program based on the name file to create a db2 table and to load that table with information contained in the file. ·Deletes the loaded file from the load directory ·Initializing a “ssh” to remove the previously transferred file from the load status directory in the other database. This process is repeated until all of the designated files have been processed. In order to automate this process I used a “while loop”, a series of “if loops”, an “until loop”, and two arrays-one containing the name and location path for the for the files that are expected to be found in the load directory and one containing the name and location path of the Korn Shell programs that will create the required tables and that will load these files into these tables. The issue that I am having is that I am receiving the following error as it relates to one of my “if loops”: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 166: `fi' is not expected. From examining the code, it seems that the syntax is correct (a “fi” to close every “if loop”). Any help that you give me in solving this problem will be appreciated. The code is as follows:

Hi Im running this script, which is supposed to find the max value build some tables and then stop running once all the tables are built. Thing is , it keeps assigning a null value to $h and then $g is null so it keep building tables i.e. testupdateNUL. How can I stop this? Here is what I have:
