That's amazing.
It worked the first time around. I really appreciate your help on this.
If you could answer a qusetion... I'm having trouble finding a tutorial or information on the "l - 13" or "l - 9" portion of the code.
I read the man on awk for substr (which is vague and confusing) and I'm just curious how I can make myself fluent in this language without having to pull my hair out and ask a billion questions.... If you could give me some insight on that, I'd really appreciate it.

I KIND OF understand what it's saying but not quite.
substr($1, l - 13, 4)
The above looks like it's starting the count, 4 from the end, 13 to the left, which goes over 2012.
substr($1, l - 9, 2)
The above starts the count 2 from the end, 9 to the left, which is right between the 2012 and 12, which seems perfect. Am I missing something here? (obviously I am.)

that caused this message to be retained in the queue; it will not be present if the message is being processed for the first time. The
status characters are:
to indicate that the job is being processed
