## To use `${ ..; }`, specify `#!/usr/bin/env ksh`.
(Or "To use cases with `;;&`, specify `#!/usr/bin/env bash`)
### Problematic code:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
var=${ mycmd; };
```
or
```
#!/usr/bin/env ksh
case "$1" in
foo) echo "Foo!" ;;&
f*) echo "F-something at least" ;;
esac
```
### Correct code:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env ksh
var=${ mycmd; };
```
or
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
case "$1" in
foo) echo "Foo!" ;;&
f*) echo "F-something at least" ;;
esac
```
### Rationale:
You are using a shell syntax feature not supported by the script's shell. Either rewrite the construct, or switch to a different shell interpreter.
### Exceptions:
None
