My problem is solved in more ways than one. Thanks to all who viewed the thread and especially those who posted their useful solutions. I learned a bit in the process and have improved my turn-around on the processing of these files considerably.

As Methyl and Franklin52 both pointed out and as I suspected, I was not escaping the % correctly in the batch flow. I also probably contributed to confusion by using the term "backslashing" in place of "escaping" in my original post. The actual term escaped me since I have been up for 26 hours now and I am trying to get back in tune with programming after a long dry spell.

As I noted in the first post the script Would run from the command line in Windows (XP).

I can also run the same script with no problems in cygwin, as tyler_durden pointed out.

It was only when I tried to use it in a batch file to process multiple files that I had a problem. I could not remember how to escape the % character in a batch file. The gawk solution put forth by Methyl worked perfectly in my batch file. I appreciate that immensely. My batch file has been modified as in the example posted by Methyl with the %% in front of the decimation interval.

I appreciate too the code example (perl) posted by tyler_durden above. Using that example, I was able to modify a short perl program that I put together a few weeks ago (with assistance from some of the same people on this site) so that I can perform this file reformat and decimation in one step instead of two.

I'm almost ready to stop and smell the roses.

Thanks for everything. 10000Springs (BC)

ecaccess-queue-list

ECACCESS-QUEUE-LIST(1p) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   ECACCESS-QUEUE-LIST(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-queue-list - List available queues

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-queue-list -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-queue-list [-debug] [queue-name]

DESCRIPTION

       Two different types of queues are in use with ECaccess:

       1 - The ECaccess batch queues, which correspond to one system at ECMWF with its specific batch environment, e.g. ecgate will be the
       ECaccess queue, which will redirect jobs to ecgate at ECMWF, running LoadLeveler. This ECaccess queue will be given as argument when
       submitting a batch job.

       2 - The batch queues (or classes) on the systems at ECMWF will be given in the batch job with #@ class = for LoadLeveler.

       The names of the ECaccess queues and associated batch queues at ECMWF can be seen with this command. When an ECaccess queue-name is
       specified then the details for this queue are displayed (including the list of classes).

       The first ECaccess batch queue in the list is the default queue when submitting a batch job with the ecaccess-job-submit command.

ARGUMENTS

       queue-name (optional)
	       The name of the ECaccess queue to retrieve the details.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-queue-list

       List all the ECaccess batch queues (or systems supporting job submission at ECMWF).

       ecaccess-queue-list ecgate

       List all the batch queues (or classes) on the ECMWF system ecgate.
