awk - Beginners Question
I have my inputfile in the following format :

From:sdhfhg
dsfhsdjfjdsfh
dsfjdjshjsd
djfhsdjfjsdhjds
Error Description
<aa.aa.aa.aa.aa.aa>
From:ksljfsdhfjh
djfdsjkf
sdjwoquk
dsfsdfj
Error Description
<dd.dd.dd.dd.dd>
I want to read the lines from tag 'From:' thrul <aa.aa.aa.aa.aa.aa> similarly for the next block. Next I want to read the Error Description and assign an codenumber to it.

I am using the following code :

Code:
#this is my first awk program
BEGIN {errorcode=0}

/From/ {take actions}
      #Read until next 'From'
       {while!(^/<[a-z]/)
         if (/ErrorDesc1/) print "01"
         else if(/ErrorDesc2/) print "02"
         else if(/ErrorDesc3l/) print "03"}

       {if(errorcode != 01 && errorcode != 02 && errorcode != 03) print "04"}

I get the following error :
The error context is
>>> {while! <<< (^/<[a-z])
awk: The statement cannot be correctly parsed.
The source line is 13.

Can someone guide...I am new to awk programming.

       globus_object_t * globus_error_construct_gssapi_error (globus_module_descriptor_t *base_source, globus_object_t *base_cause, const
	   OM_uint32 major_status, const OM_uint32 minor_status)

   Initialize Error
       globus_object_t * globus_error_initialize_gssapi_error (globus_object_t *error, globus_module_descriptor_t *base_source, globus_object_t
	   *base_cause, const OM_uint32 major_status, const OM_uint32 minor_status)

Detailed Description

       Allocate and initialize an error of type GLOBUS_ERROR_TYPE_GSSAPI. Parameters:

	   base_cause The error object causing the error. If this is the original error, this paramater may be NULL.
	   major_status The GSSAPI major status

	   major_status The GSSAPI major status
	   minor_status The GSSAPI minor status

       Returns:
