Writing output into different files while processing file using AWK

Hi,

I am trying to do the following using AWK program.
1. Read the input data file
2. Parse the record and see if it contains errors
3. If the record contains errors, then write it into Reject file, else, write into usual output file or display it on the screen

Here is what I have done -
BEGIN {FS=OFS="\n"}
{
fld1 = substr ($0, 1, 10)
fld2 = substr ($0, 11, 15)

if (fld1 == " ")
print "ERR : " fld1 "|" fld2 >> a.reject
else
print "ABC : " fld1 "|" fld2
}

When I execute the above awk, it is not creating a.reject file -- though there are input records with fld1 = blank. Kindly help.

Thanks and Regards,
Vidya

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
