COMPILATION ERROR

Hello
In my design what i need is to compare 2 bit vectors( one is of multiple
lenth with the other one) parallel with generate statement. I wrote design
and test benches. But at the time of compilation its giving errors with
generate command. Could you please see once and mail me what is the error
with my design.

The concurrent 'if-then' statement is called 'when' and the else part must
always exist to infere a MUX:

data_temp <= i when (temp_c(i)= pstate) else alternative;

Furthermore, I have doubts that you can assign the data_temp multiple values
simultaneously.
