Progress if statement

[Stephen Kennedy]

I'm a progress noob, actually having problem with basic blocks.

Below the issue is in my if else statement. It works fine when its just if, then, else then, but when I want to put in more than one statement into the if portion, I have to put it in a block, so I'm using if, then do: else, then do: but these aren't working for me. Any obvious errors you can see? My error message is **Colon followed by white space terminates a statement. (199)

INPUT FROM "r:\_content\stephen\4gl apps\dpl\output.csv".
REPEAT:
ASSIGN i_cntr = (i_cntr + 1).
myRow = "".
IMPORT DELIMITER ',' myRow.

IF myRow[5] <> "" THEN DO:
/*change this to assign 2 rows - 2 creates - 2 sets of four*/
c_fname = myRow[1].

MESSAGE

myRow[2] SKIP
myRow[3] skip

myRow[5] SKIP

END./*end of if, then do:*/
ELSE IF myRow[5] = "" THEN DO:
