If it says "function: not found" they it doesn't understand the function keyword. Take it out, it's not needed (and not part of Bourne syntax as per POSIX).
Code:
usage () {
body of function goes here
}
yeah i tried out that and that error went off... thanks for that.... but still i'm getting the following msg wen i run the script
compareReports.sh[17]: test: argument expected
compareReports.sh[17]: Difference: unknown test operator

Often, it means you have not quoted a variable properly. The command test is also known as [ (that's right, opening square bracket). Anywhere you see something like
Code:
if [ $variable -ne "foo" ]
... you want to add proper quoting, like
Code:
if [ "$variable" -ne "foo]
Ditto for where you have a literal "test" command, of course. See also UNIX Shell Quote and the responses people have posted earlier in this thread.
If you can't figure it out yourself, please post the code around lines 17 and 20, as it appears to contain a syntax error. "Difference" is probably the content of the unquoted or otherwise problematic variable, but of course, if you have a literal string "Difference" in your script then that, too, would be interesting to see.
