Re: help with the script.

First, read this to understand why you're have difficulty with angle brackets. And a hint to everyone, I clicked on "quote" for his original post to see his original input. That way I could that his here-document was correct.

rooh, I would have sworn that I knew everything about ksh. But I have never seen your "for" statement syntax before. I tested it and it works. I looked in The New Kornshell Command and Programming Language by Morris Bolsky and David Korn. It's not there. They only show
for i in $list
do
done
and they never mention
for i in $list
{
}
Where did you get this syntax??

You really posted a fragment of a script so it's hard to do anything but visually inspect. But here is something that looks like a double loop waiting to happen:

for record in `cat $bpfile`

{
acode1=`awk '{print $2 }' $bpfile`
ename=`awk ' {print $1 }' $bpfile`
dept1=`awk '{ print $6 }' $bpfile|cut -c 1 `

I think that you either want to lose that "for" loop or crack "record" up into acode1, ename, and dept1.

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
