Awk help

I have a pattern that I need to search in a BIG file.

This is the command I am using

Code:

awk '/EA2/ { print $0 }' filename

The error message that I get is :

Code:

awk: 0602-561 There is not enough memory available now.
 The source line number is 1.

I am guessing the file is too big and that is hwy I get this particular message. I wanted to check if there were any other ways to go about getting this thing going. The file is a fixed width file and the pattern 'EA2' occurs at 94-96.
