Error AWK instead of Shell script

I've a list file, which has some file names.
ex: list file "list_file" will have

data_file1.txt
data_file2.txt
data_file3.txt
:
:
data_filen.txt


Above files will have the below layout:

Header1
Header2
*TM*
Data record 1
Datarecord 2
Datarecord n
*TM*
Trailer1
Trailer2
*TM*
*TM*
EOF


I've to read all the data file name one by one and extract only data records to single file "complete.txt".

I've done the shell script for the above work. But my Manager is suggested me to simplify the code.
Are there any simple logic using awk to accomplish the same?

Please help me...

With Regards / Lokesha

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
