Near Text "Process" expected "IF"

Question

I know this question has been answered some times already, but all those answers are specific to the according code. That's why I am asking it again. Why do I get this error and how do I fix it. I am trying to make a 8-bit up/down counter.

The error:

Error (10500): VHDL syntax error at UpDownCounter.vhd(30) near text "PROCESS"; expecting "if"

LIBRARY IEEE;
USE  IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.all;
USE  IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.all;      -- needed for arithmetic increment
USE  IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.all;

ENTITY UpDownCounter IS
port( inA, inB : IN STD_LOGIC ;
        Max_count: IN std_logic_vector(7 DOWNTO 0);
        result : OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(7 DOWNTO 0)
);
END UpDownCounter;

Architecture behavior of UpDownCounter is
signal internal_result : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(7 DOWNTO 0);
BEGIN
result <= internal_result;
    PROCESS(inA, inB)
        BEGIN
            IF (inA'EVENT and inA = '1') THEN
                IF internal_count < Max_count THEN
                    internal_result <= internal_result + 1;
                END IF;
            ELSIF (inB'EVENT and inB = '1') THEN
                        -- Check for maximum count
                IF internal_count > Max_count THEN
                    internal_result <= internal_result - 1;
                END IF;
            ELSE                
                    internal_result <= "00000000";
    END PROCESS;    
END behavior;   

The help is appreciated!

Answer 1

In your code, the final ELSE is missing the terminating END IF.

This is for the previous ELSE IF and it's corresponding IF which must have an END IF; statement.
