Amruta Pitkar · #1 (**permalink**) 04-20-2007

Code:

BEGIN { account_no = substr($0,1,8)}
        { billdate = substr($0,13,20)}
        { billduedate = substr($0,21,28)}
        { billid = billid - 1}
        { billduedate = billdatecalc(billduedate - 1)}
         ...
END ....

Please guide....

Thanks
