awk command in script gives error while same awk command at prompt runs fine: Why?
Hello all,

Here is what my bash script does: sums number columns, saves the tot in new column, outputs if tot >= threshold val:

Code:
> cat getnon0file.sh
#!/bin/bash
this="getnon0file.sh"
USAGE=$this" [filename threshold_value]
InFile="xyz.38"
Min="0.05"
#[ I removed the input check to shorten the code]

awk '{sum=0; for(n=2; n<=NF; n++){sum+=$n}; tot=(NF+1);$tot=sum; if(sum>=0.05); {print}}' $InFile > $InFile.non0

echo ----  $this over ---  Result saved into $InFile.non0

When I call the script at the prompt, I get an error:
Code:
> getnon0file.sh xyz.38 0.05
/path/getnon0file.sh: line 36: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/path/getnon0file.sh: line 36: `awk '{sum=0; for(n=2; n<=NF; n++){sum+=$n}; tot=(NF+1);$tot=sum; if(sum>=0.05); {print}}' $InFile > 
$InFile.non0'

When I run the awk command alone at the prompt, I obtain the results I want
Code:
> awk '{sum=0; for(n=2; n<=NF; n++){sum+=$n}; tot=(NF+1);$tot=sum; if(sum>=0.05); {print}}' xyz.38 > xyz.38.non0

Is there any way around what seems to me an attractable error?

Thanks.

Just in case you need it, the datafile (xyz.38) look like this:
