redirect input within case statement?
I'm trying to run the logic below but get a `<' is not matched error message when I return a Y or y;

Code:
printf "Run this [Y/N]? : "
read RESP
case $RESP in
 Y|y)
    cat <<EOF > file
      today is Monday
    EOF ;;
 N|n)
     exit 1 ;;
esac

Any ideas?

SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP@.SERVICE(8)				    systemd-cryptsetup@.service 			    SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP@.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service, systemd-cryptsetup - Full disk decryption logic

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service is a service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is instantiated for each device that
       requires decryption for access.

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service will ask for hard disk passwords via the password agent logic[1], in order to query the user for the password
       using the right mechanism at boot and during runtime.

       At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded this /etc/crypttab is translated into systemd-cryptsetup@.service units
       by systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8).

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8), crypttab(5), cryptsetup(8)
