while and do problems

Any ideas how to clear this error as it seems I dont understand if,do,while and els commands

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
set -x
print "This script creates test messages"
print "Please enter test case name"
read testcasename
echo $testcasename
 
skipfield=Y
while [ $skipfield != "Y" ]
print "Do you want to skip this field Y/N?"
read skipfield
do
done this done is causing syntax error 
 
CHOICE=N
while [ $CHOICE != "Y" ];
do
print "Please enter in field 1 Version"
read version
if [[ "${#version}" -lt 4 ]] ; then
print -n $version >> $testcasename
else
print "too many bytes"
fi
print "Do you want to continue Y/N?"
read CHOICE
done
CHOICE2=N
while [ $CHOICE2 != "Y" ];
do
print "Pleasent in field 2 Date"
read date
if [[ "${#date}" -lt 9 ]] ; then
print -n $date >> $testcasename
else
print "too many bytes"
fi
print "Do you want to continue Y/N?"
read CHOICE2
done

exit

NAME

       ttk::frame - Simple container widget

SYNOPSIS

       See the ttk_widget manual entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       [-borderwidth borderWidth]  The desired width of the widget border.  Defaults to 0.  [-relief relief] One of the standard Tk border styles:
       flat, groove, raised, ridge, solid, or sunken.  Defaults to flat.  [-padding padding] Additional padding  to  include  inside  the  border.
       [-width width]  If specified, the widget's requested width in pixels.  [-height height] If specified, the widget's requested height in pix-
