What's wrong with the do statement?
hi guys,

here's the code

Code:
$ cat getsums.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh
FILENAME=$1
DELIMITER=$2
FIRST_COL=$3
SECOND_COL=$4
SALESDATE_COL=$5
STOREID=$6
UPC=$7
GTIN=$8
PROMOID=$9
echo ""
echo ".:Summation Tool:."

for FILE in ${FILENAME}
do
        gzip -t ${FILE} 2>/dev/null

        if [ $? -eq 1 ];
        then
                comm=cat
        else
                comm=gzcat
        fi
.
.
.
done

everytime i execute it, it keeps saying that the error is in "do"...

Code:
$ sh getsums.sh ft-GNCT-3398-CD-2012-07-07-140112.txt.gz

.:Summation Tool:.
getsums.sh[36]: ^M:  not found.
' is not expected.ntax error at line 39 : `do

Code:
$ sh getsums.sh

.:Summation Tool:.
getsums.sh[36]: ^M:  not found.

Code:
$ sh getsums.sh ft-GNCT-3398-CD-2012-07-07-140112.txt.gz "      " 22 23 1 2 4

.:Summation Tool:.
getsums.sh[36]: ^M:  not found.

Seems carriage-return characters are in your file. How did you get this file? From a Windows machine? FTP? binary mode?
Use dos2unix utility on the file.

1) You don't list the line in question (36 or 39).
2) Looks like there is a <carriage return> (^M or \r or 0x0D) char in one of your parameters, probably $1.

#!/usr/bin/sh

for FILE in ${FILENAME}
do >> line 39
gzip -t ${FILE} 2>/dev/null

Run script with options -vx set and post the output (probably best as an attachment).

.:Summation Tool:.
