syntax error near unexpected token `for file in
I am trying to run the code below however I am getting a "syntax error near unexpected token `for file in error" on the line that is in red. I have the semicolons after every line because it will fail on the copy if I don't have them saying that it cannot stat directory. Is there something that I am missing that would cause it to give me this error? I would really appreciate any advice or improvements.

Code:
#!/bin/bash -x

original=ALPHA.jan.R120110117.142731.txt; 

origcp=$original.original;

location=/home/testfiles/;

rec=1000001;

DT=20110117;

TM=120000;

prefix=ALPHA.jan;



cp $location$original $location$origcp;



wc -l $location$original;

wc -l $location$origcp;



split -l $rec -a 3 $location$original $location$original;

chmod 775 $location$original???

for file in $location$original???
 
do

wc -l $location$original???

break

done;





ini=161;

i=161;

for file in $location$original???;

do

output=$(printf '%X' $i)$DT.$TM.txt;

  mv $file $prefix.$output

  i=$((i + 1 + 7*($i-$ini==8)))

  ini=$((ini + 16*($i-$ini>8)))

  

  print $file has been renamed to $prefix.$output

   done;

ip-token

IP-TOKEN(8)							       Linux							       IP-TOKEN(8)

NAME

       ip-token - tokenized interface identifer support

SYNOPSIS

       ip token  { COMMAND | help }

       ip token { set } TOKEN dev DEV

       ip token { get } dev DEV

       ip token { list }

DESCRIPTION

       IPv6 tokenized interface identifer support is used for assigning well-known host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining a global
       network prefix from Router advertisements. The primary target for tokenized identifiers are server platforms where addresses are usually
       manually configured, rather than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenized identifiers, hosts can still determine their network prefix by
       use of SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should their network prefix change [1]. Tokenized IPv6 Identifiers are described
       in the draft [1]: <draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02>.

   ip token set - set an interface token
       set the interface token to the kernel. Once a token is set, it cannot be removed from the interface, only overwritten.

       TOKEN  the interface identifer token address.

       dev DEV
	      the networking interface.

   ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel
       show a tokenized interface identifer of a particular networking device.	Arguments: coincide with the arguments of ip token set but the
       TOKEN must be left out.

   ip token list - list all interface tokens
       list all tokenized interface identifers for the networking interfaces from the kernel.
