I found the problem Something is wrong with my typeset statements.
I took them out. The other poster, cfajohnson suggested using the formatting capabilities of printf. I need to learn how to do that.
Thanks Perderabo and cfajohnson and mukundranjan.

Update. More specifically it was I believe the typeset commands for pflag and oflag and rflag that were causing the problem.
Thanks. I will get fancy with printf and also get fancy with case.
