awk -f "script" file
Thanks Shamrock, I ended up having to edit the source file to add the three headings then run this code that was presented to me earlier to get things to work:

head -2 "file" ; awk -f "script" "file" | sed -n '3,$p' | sort -k 3nr

I was thinking there must be a way to work with the script alone on this issue and your solution worked great. Thank you.

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 SEE ALSO
