debugging help

[PATTON, BILLY \(SBCSI\)]

I am getting an error:
sh: Syntax error at line 1 : `then' is not matched.
make: *** [real_clean+lbf+bfpdlxml+pub+EB.msg] Error 2

When I use warning I get :
make.clean:120: real_clean+lbf+bfpdlxml+pub+EB.msg :
  @echo "deleting real_clean+lbf+bfpdlxml+pub+EB.msg" ; \
  if [ EB.msg = extra ] ; then \
    cd v0608/SOURCE_TREE/lbf/bfpdlxml ; \
  else \
    cd v0608/SOURCE_TREE/lbf/bfpdlxml/pub ; \
  fi ; \
  if [ -f EB.msg ] ; then \
    /makefile_test/bin/exec_log -log \
     /makefile_test/dev/bp1497/v0608/log.2017123219 \
     -proj lbf -bb bfpdlxml /usr/bin/rm \
     -f  EB.msg || exit $$? \
  fi

I don't see anything wrong :

Cannot send working copy, too large.
