There is no "else if" in plpgsql, if I remember correctly. Try:

create function utbl_set_statchangedate() returns opaque as 
'begin     IF TG_OP = ''UPDATE'' THEN        NEW.statchangedate := CURRENT_DATE;    ELSE        IF OLD.status <>
NEW.statusTHEN            NEW.statchangedate := CURRENT_DATE;        END IF;    END IF;
 
return NEW;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';
