Thank you very much, I appreciate your help.
The problem I am still having is that I am looking to find the final extension of a file name and the file name may have multiple nodes.

If the l_comp="dc000.runksh.test.ksh|/dbmgtu01/app/oracle/orbitz/1.0.0/sql/dc0000.runksh_test.sql|new.dat|control.ctl"

lf_verify_component () {

l_comp_file=$i
l_comp_suffix=${i#*.}

echo ' Component File: ' $l_comp_file
echo ' Component Suffix: ' $l_comp_suffix

} # end of lf_verify_component

The outpiut I get is:
Component File: dc000.runksh.test.ksh
Component Suffix: runksh
Component File: /dbmgtu01/app/oracle/orbitz/1.0.0/sql/dc0000.runksh_test.sql
Component Suffix: 0
Component File: new.dat
Component Suffix: dat
Component File: control.ctl
Component Suffix: ctl

How can I code it so that it only gives me the string after the final "."?

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
