What's wrong with this code?

Hello all,

Can someone tell me why I'm getting an error in the following code:

export return_code="$?"
if [ $? -gt 4 ] then
echo "load_shaw.sas failed."
exit
else
echo "Trigger the next script..."
# /path/to/next/script
fi

I get an error number 0403-057, "Syntax error at line 35, `else' is not expected"

Any help would be appreciated.

Mark

Code:

export return_code="$?"  
if [[ $return_code -gt 4 ]] ; then
    echo "load_shaw.sas failed."
    exit
else
    echo "Trigger the next script..." 
    # /path/to/next/script
fi

export return_code="$?"
if [ $? -gt 4 ]
then
echo "load_shaw.sas failed."

The syntax of the test is now correct, but the tests doesn't check the right status. The checked status is the status of the export command. It's the variable return_code that must be tested. See jim post.
