Problem with awk and if statement

Hi,
I have a task where i need to compare columns of two files.

First file is $REG_InputFileName:

"UPDATE","1010021126","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1013000101","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","1013010107","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","1110011122","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1110020111","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","1110020111","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1110020113","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","1620020409","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1620020612","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1620021126","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1910020411","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1910020722","1-01-01","USD"
"UPDATE","1910030021","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","1910031191","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","1910031221","1-01-01","THB"
"UPDATE","2620021162","1-01-01","USD"


Second file is $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp:

001.,ARE
002.,ARE
003.,ARE
011.,ARE
012.,ARE
021.,BHR
031.,BHR
041.,QAT
043.,QAT
051.,QAT
061.,OMN
071.,OMN
081.,LBN
091.,LBN
101.,JOR
111.,JOR
121.,EGY
131.,EGY
141.,MUS
151.,MUS
162.,IRQ
181.,PAK
191.,PAK


In this, i need to compare first three characters of 2nd column of $REG_InputFileName with first 3 characters 1st column of $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp

if there is match then the whole record should go to a file which is in the directory named same as second column of $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp

for e.g.

first record of $REG_InputFileName is

"UPDATE","1010021126","1-01-01","USD"
so first three characters will be 101 now i need to lookup this 101 into $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp and there is match ;
001.,ARE

then this whole record "UPDATE","1010021126","1-01-01","USD" should go to a directory named as ARE

i have following code for this :

while read i
do
echo $i > $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp
OutDir=`awk -F"," '{print $2}' $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp`
awk -F"," 'NR==FNR {col1[substr($1,1,3)]=$2} NR!=FNR { if (col1[substr($2,2,3)]=="") {next} print $0}' $TargetSeqPath/Ref.tmp $REG_InputFileName >>$Target
SeqPath/$OutDir/$OutFile-$mdt.txt
done < $RefInputFileName


this is code is working fine and i am getting everything mentioned above. But the problem is if there is match.
for e.g.

"UPDATE","2620021162","1-01-01","USD"

then this record should go to a directory named as "others"

Can anybody help me how to check this mismatch and send the record to other directory

Thanks

UPDATE-METAINIT(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					UPDATE-METAINIT(1)

NAME
update-metainit - Generates init scripts SYNOPSIS
update-metainit [--remove initname [--purge] ] DESCRIPTION
Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of manually creating these important files, they are derived from a declaritive description in the metainit files in /etc/metainit. These files can be shipped with packages or created by the local adminis- trator. If update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init scripts for all the files in /etc/metainit. The generated files contain a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden. Modifications are preferably done in the files in /etc/metainit and made effective by running update-metainit. If needed, the administrator can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment. OPTIONS
--remove initname This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts that were created by the metainit file with the name initname. --purge Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if modified. SEE ALSO
