Sum of 286th column using awk in a file

Hi,

I am using the following code to find the sum of the values of column 286 in a file. It will have the Decimal values with the scale of 2. Delimiter is '|^'

Code:
cut -d'|^' -f286 filename|cut -c3-| awk '{ x += $1 } END { printf("%.2f\n", x) }'

There are around 50k records in this file and for few files this code is running fine but for some files the Sum value is not correct. This is verified by the summing the data loaded in the table from the file.

Let me know if any changes are to be made to the above code.

Thanks,
Jram.

NAME
Lire::Sum - Lire class that implements the sum operator SYNOPSIS
use Lire::Sum DESCRIPTION
Class that implements the sum operator. This operator will compute the field's sum in a group of DLF records. It's possible to compute a weighted sum in which each value is first multiplied by the value of another DLF field. Its also possible to express the count as a ratio of the total count for the group or table. METHODS
new( %params ) Creates a new Lire::Count object. In addition to the values supported by its parents, the weight and ratio attributes will be initialized to the values specified in the %params argument. weight( [$new_weight] ) Returns the DLF field's name by which the values will be multiplied before being summed. You can change the weight field by specifying a new name as the $new_weight parameter. Use undef to remove the use of a weighting field. ratio([$new_ratio]) Returns how the sum will be expressed. This can one of three possible values: none Default. The absolute sum will be used. group The sum will be expressed as a percentage of the group's sum. table The sum will be expressed as a percentage of the table's total sum. SEE ALSO
