i have around 4 conditions to check!
is it possible to redirect it to a subroutine? Or is it possible to use a something like a switch case?

Im doing something like this:
{
x=substr($1,2,5);
}
if ( x == "JB007" )
{
#Assign the value from the 3rd column of the error_correction file
}
else
{
#Assign the value from the 2nd column of the error_correction file
}
