Please answer all my questions which you didn't answer from post #4.

If you missed them:

Please do not retype, you are making a huge amount of errors. Copy-paste.

In the awk command you call 'estdistica.awk' but the file name (File 2) you called it 'estadistica.awk'

I'm not sure if one or the other is a typo or not but I thought I'd point it out.

thanks as I saw that little detail was just that nothing more !!!!

So the awk command in the script valida_cab_det.sh cannot find or open the file estdistica.awk

Clearly the error comes from the command awk, so at least the awk command can be found, and the script valida_cab_det.sh is running so we clearly found that file at some point as well.

So the problem seems to be that the file estdistica.awk cannot be found or opened by the awk command, when run from the script valida_cab_det.sh from some unknown user and environment.

How is awk supposed to find the file estdistica.awk?
Where is the file estdistica.awk?
And for that matter where is the script valida_cab_det.sh?

Does the user have access to read (open) the file estdistica.awk?
Does the user or environment the script is running in have any idea where estdistica.awk is?

Think you might have a path problem.
