name=cat $REQ2 | grep Name | awk -F":" '{print $2}'`
mail=cat $REQ2 | grep email | awk -F":" '{print $2}'`
clear
    print " *********************************************************"
           print " * Extracting information................................*"
           print " * Make sure that the information provided is correct... *"
           print " * And then close the Request info review to continue... *" 
           print " *********************************************************"
clear
print                                 
   printf " Request Information review "
   print                                  
   print " Number                  : $num"
   print " Program                       : $Pgrm"
   print " Name              : $name"
