One part says "else if"
The other part says "elseif"

Since I don't do csh, I don't know which is correct, but one of them must be wrong.

what is wrong in this snippet of script??

Code:
if ($platform != ( "lnx86" || "sun4v" || "ibmrs" ) )  then
   echo " WARNING!!!!!!!   UNknown Platform "

It's probable ( "lnx86" || "sun4v" || "ibmrs" ) is incorrect. Try this untested alternative way (courtesy of non-csh user Smilie):
Code:
switch ($platform)
  case "lnx86":
  case "sun4v":
  case "ibmrs":
    breaksw
  default:
    echo " WARNING!!!!!!!   UNknown Platform "
    breaksw
endsw

Code:
switch ($platform)
  case "lnx86":
  case "sun4v":
  case "ibmrs":
    breaksw
  default:
    echo " WARNING!!!!!!!   UNknown Platform "
    breaksw
endsw

This code is not working properly. When i give wrong platform instead of showing Warning message . It says " PATHecho : undefined variable "

Code:
$ uname
Linux

Code:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/csh
set platform = "xxx"

switch ($platform)
  case "lnx86":
  case "sun4v":
  case "ibmrs":
    breaksw
  default:
    echo ' WARNING! UNknown Platform '
    breaksw
endsw

Code:
$ ./test.sh
 WARNING! UNknown Platform
