so i just remodified the code using the suggestions, and below is what i have, which seems to be a huge improvement:

Code:
VALFOUND=1484711626
awk -F, -v SEARCHPATT="(Wed|Tue)" -v ADDISTR="Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun" -vVF="$VALFOUND" '
BEGIN {           
        {
                D[10] = D[13] = 1
                D[11] = D[14] = 2
        }
$0 ~ "," VF "," 
        {
                L = 1                                  # start output only if VALFOUND is matched
        }

!L
        {
                next                                   # skip line if NOT VALFOUND
        }
        {
                A = strftime("%a %b %d %T %Y,%s",$3)
        }
A ~ SEARCHPATT && NF in D 
        {
                TOT = 0
                for (n = split ($(NF-D[NF]), T, "="); n>1; n--)    {sub (/_.*/, _, T[n]); TOT += T[n]}
                 if (NF == 11 || A ~ ADDISTR) print TOT "-" $3 "_" $(NF-D[NF]+1) "----" A
        }
}' datafile.txt

which results in:

Code:
awk: cmd. line:14: error: `next' used in BEGIN action

what is wrong with the above next?

you have misbalanced curlies...
Code:
BEGIN {           
      {

wait.... why do you have EVERYTHING in the BEGIN block?
