How about this?

Code:
awk '
    # if the QWER line contains 1088, set the change flag to true
    $1=="QWER" { if ($6==1088) { change=1 } else { change=0 } }
    # if the change flag is set and the line has more than 3 fields, override the 3rd value
    change && NF > 3 { $3=9999 }
    # print the line
    1
' inputfile
