Thanks itkamaraj,

Even when I had some other errors, that's was the main problem.

The correct syntax as I want is:
Code:
X=17
if (( "$X" <= 5 )); then
    echo "The value is between 1 and 5"
    for ((i=1;i<=${X};i++)); do
     echo $i
    done 
elif (( "$X" > 5 )) && (( "$X" <= 10 )); then
    echo "The value is between 6 and 10"
    for ((i=1;i<=${X};i++)); do
     echo $i
    done 
elif (( "$X" > 10 &&  "$X" <= 20 )); then
    echo "The value is between 10 and 20"
    for ((i=1;i<=${X};i++)); do
     echo $i
    done 
fi

Thanks again to all for your help.

Regards
