Memory exhausted in awk
Dear All,

I have executed a awk script in linux box which consists of 21 Million records.And i have two mapping files of 500 and 5200 records.To my surprise i found an error

awk: cmd. line:19: (FILENAME=/home/FILE FNR=21031272) fatal: Memory exhausted.

Is there any limitation for records in awk?

regards,
cskumar.
