You have a semicolon after the if in search4(). I also think I see it in other if's as well. You have a number of other issues. Separate your functions in single files and debug them, then combine them.

Code:


search4 ()
{
echo "\n Search Function 4 used by ${REPORT} "

RPTLINE=$(more ${RPTFILE} | head -${STARTLINE} | tail -1)
RPTFIELD=$(echo ${RPTFILE} | cut -f${STARTFIELD} -d ",")

if [[ ${RPTFIELD} = ${STRING1} ]];                        <------------------------------- remove semicolon
then
  echo "${RPTFILE} has no detected errors. >> ${APPLOG}
else {
  echo "${RPTFILE} has been identified as having an error. ${INSTRUCTIONS}" >> ${ERROREMAIL}
  echo "Error Found" >> ${APPLOG} }
fi
}
