syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

I am just learning how to write a script and this is my 1st script to change the case of the filenames in the current directory.I am using RHEL5 server.
But each time I execute this it says

Code:

./tr1.sh: line 20: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

./tr1.sh: line 20: `        fi'

Is there any error in this script ??I am unable to identify the error.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#clear

myscriptname=`basename $0`;



for i in `ls -A`



do

        if [ $i = $myscriptname ]

          then

          echo "Sorry, can't apply script on $myscriptname!"

        elif [ $i != $myscriptname ]

          newname=`echo $i | tr a-z A-Z`

          mv $i $newname

        fi

done



#END

You need a then after the elif or you need to replace the entire elif line with else

Code:

elif [ $i != $myscriptname ]

then

    newname=`echo $i | tr a-z A-Z`

    mv $i $newname

fi

Hello bro,thanks a lot,but can I mention both tr A-Z a-z and tr a-z A-Z ,so that,if the file names are in uppercase it'll convert into lower and if in lower it'll convert into upper !!!
