Help Needed with File Checker Korn Shell Script

I am attempting to write a korn shell script that does the following, but I am getting errors. I'm new to korn shell scripting and am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help with example scripts. Thanks.

1) check for day of the week
2) if day of the week is Monday then check for the existence of three files
3) if all three files are not found then loop infinitely until all three are found
4) when found then execute a .sas program
5) else if the day if the week is not Monday then check for the existence of two files
6) if the two files are not found then loop infinitely until both files are found
7) when both files are found execute a .sas program

Here's what I have thus far:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
. ~/.profile

DAYOFWEEK=$(date +"%u")
echo DAYOFWEEK: $DAYOFWEEK

if ["$DAYOFWEEK" == 1];
then do
        if [-f /files/are/here/FILE1.txt
            -f /files/are/here/FILE2.txt
            -f /files/are/here/FILE3.txt]; then
sas /files/are/here/process.sas
sleep 10

else if ["$DAYOFWEEK" !==1];
then do
          if [-f /files/are/here/FILE2.txt
              -f /files/are/here/FILE3.txt]; then
sas /files/are/here/process.sas
sleep 10
done

NAME
cronosplit - split log files into cronolog-compatible files SYNOPSIS
cronosplit --template=TEMPLATE [--print-invalid] [--help] [--version] file ... DESCRIPTION
cronosplit is a simple program that reads lines from a set of input log files, which must be in Common Log Format or NCSA Combined/XLF/ELF Format and write each lines to an output files, the name of which is constructed using the template specified and timestamp from the the line. The template uses the same format specifiers as the Unix date(1) command (which are the same as the standard C strftime library function). Options cronosplit accepts the following options and arguments: --template=TEMPLATE specifies the template for the output log files (using the format specifiers described below). --print-invalid print invalid log file entries to the standard error stream. --utime update modification time of output file according to last parsed log entry. --verbose print additional status messages to the standard error stream. --debug print debug messages to the standard error stream. --help print a help message and then exit. --version print version information and exit. Template format Each character in the template represents a character in the expanded filename, except for date and time format specifiers, which are replaced by their expansion. Format specifiers consist of a `%' followed by one of the following characters: % a literal % character n a new-line character t a horizontal tab character Time fields: H hour (00..23) I hour (01..12) p the locale's AM or PM indicator M minute (00..59) S second (00..61, which allows for leap seconds) X the locale's time representation (e.g.: "15:12:47") Z time zone (e.g. GMT), or nothing if the time zone cannot be determined Date fields: a the locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g.: Sun..Sat) A the locale's full weekday name (e.g.: Sunday .. Saturday) b the locale's abbreviated month name (e.g.: Jan .. Dec) B the locale's full month name, (e.g.: January .. December) c the locale's date and time (e.g.: "Sun Dec 15 14:12:47 GMT 1996") d day of month (01 .. 31) j day of year (001 .. 366) m month (01 .. 12) U week of the year with Sunday as first day of week (00..53, where week 1 is the week containing the first Sunday of the year) W week of the year with Monday as first day of week (00..53, where week 1 is the week containing the first Monday of the year) w day of week (0 .. 6, where 0 corresponds to Sunday) x locale's date representation (e.g. today in Britain: "12/04/96") y year without the century (00 .. 99) Y year with the century (1970 .. 2038) Other specifiers may be available depending on the C library's implementation of the strftime function.
