hpux 11 here document problem

|
| Hi All,
The OS is "HP-UX tuna B.11.00 U 9000/800 522706547 unlimited-user
license"
When the following function is called, it always complain
"ksh: syntax error at line 6 : `fi' unexpected"
I put in print statements for debugging and found that this error is
generated at "EMB_BUILD" delimiter-word of the here document at the end
of the function.
Is this a bug in the shell? How do I get around of it?
function emb_build {
ALL=FALSE
LASB=FALSE
IAHV=FALSE
ISH=FALSE
RSH=FALSE
PS3='Pick one of the above:'
select i in all lasb iahv ish rsh finish
do case $i in
all) ALL=TRUE
break;;
iahv) IAHV=TRUE;;
lasb) LASB=TRUE;;
ish) ISH=TRUE;;
rsh) RSH=TRUE;;
finish) print -u2 "finished embedded selection"
break;;
esac
done
if [ $ALL = TRUE ]
then
IAHV=TRUE
LASB=TRUE
ISH=TRUE
RSH=TRUE
fi
$CL setview P10_V230_EMB_Build << EMB_BUILD
if [ $DEL_FLAG = TRUE ]
delay # sleep and wake up sometime after midnight
DEL_FLAG=FALSE # Only 1 delay allowed
fi
if [ $IAHV = TRUE ] # iahv build
then
test -f $curDir/Embd_builds/iahv/ArchitectProjects/done.txt && rm -f
$curDir/E
mbd_builds/iahv/ArchitectProjects/done.txt
cd $curDir/Embd_builds/iahv
../bigbang.sh -e IAHV.prj
fi
if [ $LASB = TRUE ] # lasb build
then
test -f $curDir/Embd_builds/lasb/ArchitectProjects/done.txt && rm -f

cd $curDir/Embd_builds/lasb

The correct format for the above is:
if [ $ALL = TRUE ] ; then
....
....
fi
Note the semicolon above.

No, the original is fine. Whether you do this:
if [ whatever ] ; then
or this:
if [ whatever ]
then
is purely a matter of taste/style.

Have you tried w/o the comment after the test?
# iahv build
if [ $IAHV = TRUE ]
then
...
HP once didn't like comments or flags in the #!/bin/sh line either...

There *is* a 'then' missing.

To the best of my knowledge, all bourne compatible shells properly
parse such a line (given correct syntax in the following lines).

That's a completely different issue because the #! line is parsed
by the kernel and not by a shell. On most unix variants, including
HP-UX 8-11, the whole line is passed on as one argument. Important
exceptions are SunOS 5, OpenServer 5 and Ultrix, which split and
pass on the first "argument" only, and FreeBSD which really splits
up and fills argv[].

Ralf,
I was more think of:
if [ $IAHV ="TRUE" ]
then
.....
