Issues with AWK
Hi there
I have written a ksh script on a Red Hat OS and the following extract works.
awk '{if (NR != 1) {print $rec1_field }}' $file1 >> combined

When I run the same script on an AIX OS, I get the following error.

awk: 0602-562 Field $() is not correct.
The input line number is 2. The file is LetterWriting_Type_EPRO.csv.
The source line number is 1.

It would appear that I need to assign the script variable $rec1_field.

Can anyone advise

Thanks
Alan
