Help me find the error in my modification of a SKILL code

mod skill cadence

I've encountered some SKILL problems when I want to modify a useful SKILL code. This SKILL code is for placing the labels in an array manner. No matter how I modifed it will always show "*Error* eval: unbound variable - if". Can anyone help me please?
Original:
labcount = 1
while(labcount <= numOlabs
sprintf(tmp "%s%d%s" label startnum labels)
dbCreateLabel( getEditRep() list( layer "pin" ) location tmp
just rotate fontname fontheight)
location = list( xCoord(location)+xSpace yCoord(location+ySpace)
startnum = startnum + countby
labcount = labcount +1
geRefresh()
Modified:
while(labcount <= numOlabs
sprintf(tmp "%s%d%s" label startnum labels)
dbCreateLabel( getEditRep() list( layer "pin" ) location tmp
just rotate fontname fontheight)
if ( mod(labcount 32)==0 then
xS=xPitchdiff
yS=yPitchdiff
else
xS=xSpace
yS=ySpace
)
location = list( xCoord(location)+xS yCoord(location)+yS)
startnum = startnum + countby
labcount = labcount +1
geRefresh()

I think you have a match problem with your open brackets

Re: SKILL help on mod and if

An extra space exists after the word 'if'. This will lead the error message you posted.
I also didn't find the close parenthesis for 'while' statement. I have added it in the following code.

Thanks a lot for your comments and help!

Normally i use Visual lisp(Autolisp) editor to check the missing bracket for simple skill programs .Does cadence has editor like vlisp editor that autodesk provides

Vi can check the missing bracket. Use '%' in command mode to find the matching bracket. Turning on the 'showmatch' switch will automatically show the matching bracket during input.
