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

BINFMT.D(5)							     binfmt.d							       BINFMT.D(5)

NAME
binfmt.d - Configure additional binary formats for executables at boot SYNOPSIS
/etc/binfmt.d/*.conf /run/binfmt.d/*.conf /usr/lib/binfmt.d/*.conf DESCRIPTION
At boot, systemd-binfmt.service(8) reads configuration files from the above directories to register in the kernel additional binary formats for executables. CONFIGURATION FORMAT
Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel binary format rules. Consult binfmt_misc.txt[1] for more information on registration of additional binary formats and how to write rules. Empty lines and lines beginning with ; and # are ignored. Note that this means you may not use ; and # as delimiter in binary format rules. Each configuration file shall be named in the style of program.conf. Files in /etc/ override files with the same name in /usr/lib/ and /run/. Files in /run/ override files with the same name in /usr/lib/. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files in /etc/ are reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the configuration files installed from vendor packages. All files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the same binary type name, the entry in the file with the lexicographically latest name will be applied. If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to /dev/null in /etc/binfmt.d/ bearing the same filename. EXAMPLE
Example 1. /etc/binfmt.d/wine.conf example: # Start WINE on Windows executables :DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine: SEE ALSO
systemd(1), systemd-binfmt.service(8), systemd-delta(1), wine(8) NOTES
