value = MTH[2]

FS="/" # if there is no / separator, can I just check the value?
split($value, MTHCHECK)
oldmth=value[1]
newmth=value[2]
# if the value is null -z just skip the check
if oldmth > "12" print "invalid mth" 
if oldmth > "0" && < "13" print "valid mth"
if newmth> "12" print "invalid mth" 
if newmth > "0" && < "13" print "valid mth"

How do i incorporate all this into an awk command? I am using bash by the way. Thanks again.
The awk command gives the output as you desire in your first post.

Can you post the exact desired output from the given log file?
