I need to calculat the sum of the particular field in text file. And the datatype of the field in file is decimal(18,2). If the file is small, then I am facing any problem. But the file is huge, then the result is converted into exponential format.
I tried using various command thr this forum, but still facing the problem.
Thanks in advance.

The file content is dynamic and using this format:
name1 number1
name2 number2
name3 number3
name4 number4

Need a smooth way to calculate the sum of all the numbers in that file (number1 + number2 + number3 + number4........ = total ) (11 Replies)

Hi,
I wanted a script to find sum of files for a particular date, below is my script
ls -lrt *.req | nawk '$6 == "Aug"' | nawk '$7 == "1"'| awk '{sum = sum + $5} END {print sum}'
However, i get the error below
/usr/bin/ls: arg list too long
How do i fix that.
Many thanks before. (2 Replies)
Hi Everyone,
($total+=$_) for @record;
assume @record=(1,2,3), so the result is 6.
if @record=("1 3","2 3","3 3"), would like to sum up the 2nd field of this array, the result is 9.
i tried " ($total+=$) for @record ", cannot, please advice.
Thanks

sum - calculate a checksum for a file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/sum file...
DESCRIPTION
sum calculates and displays a 16-bit checksum for the named file and displays the size of the file in kilobytes. It is typically used to
look for bad spots, or to validate a file communicated over some transmission line. The checksum is calculated by an algorithm which may
yield different results on machines with 16-bit ints and machines with 32-bit ints, so it cannot always be used to validate that a file has
been transferred between machines with different-sized ints.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of sum when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWscpu |

SEE ALSO sum(1), wc(1), attributes(5), largefile(5)DIAGNOSTICS
Read error is indistinguishable from EOF on most devices; check the block count.
NOTES
sum and /usr/bin/sum (see sum(1)) return different checksums.
This utility is obsolete.
