There are several problems with the line posted. We really need to see it in the context of the whole script and with a description of what the script is meant to do.
To answer one of your questions.
If there is a variable called $i which needs to be substituted into svucon$i_bal_dup_email.dat it will not work. This is because underscore is a valid character in a variable name.
Here is an example of what can happen. Note the use of braces to show shell where the variable name ends.
On the second point. The semi-colon is just allowing you to place two unrelated commands on the same line. It may be wrong.
The second command converts a file $dup_in to "uuencode" format outputting to $dup_out . There is no input from the preceding command.
The normal use of "uuencode" is to prepare a file to be an email attachment.
zsh 4.3.4% cat file

zsh 4.3.4% cat file1

R
zsh 4.3.4% <file1 while read;do printf "%s=%d\n" "$REPLY" "${#$(<file)//}";done
A=9
C=7
F=4
R=2
That was the previous post.

unknown
UNKNOWN(1) General Commands Manual UNKNOWN(1)NAME
unknown - identify possible genotypes for unknowns
SYNOPSIS
A program to rapidly identify which genotypes are possible for individuals typed as unknowns in the input pedigree.
unknown [ -cl ]
DESCRIPTION
unknown infers possible genotypes and mating combinations for parents with unknown genotypes for ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1).
OPTIONS -c Use conditional allele frequencies.
-l Choose a good set of loop breakers automatically.
RETURN VALUE
0 Successful completion
ERRORS
10 File not found
255 Failure
EXAMPLES
Normally, unknown(1) is run immediately prior to its sister programs, ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1), like this:
unknown
mlink
FILES unknown(1) reads the two files pedfile.dat and datafile.dat as its own input and produces various temporary files that are used as input to
the next program. These temporary files are ipedfile.dat, upedfile.dat, speedfile.dat and newspeedfile.dat.
NOTES unknown(1) is part of the FASTLINK package, which is a re-implementation of the LINKAGE suite of computer tools that help investigate
genetic linkage as first proposed G.M. Lathrop, J.M. Lalouel, C. Julier, and J. Ott.
