Yeah.... that's not going to be easy.

Try this?
Code:
awk -v ins_line="$MBR_CNT_PRCP_TYPE_CODES_DEL" 'NR==3{print ins_line }1' MBR_CNT_PARM_DV_TEMP.parm > $Parm_file_name

Somehow I dont think that will do what you want. You can do it with shell scripting:
Code:
let lineno=1
cat "MBR_CNT_PARM_DV_TEMP.parm" | 
while read line ; do 
   if [ 3 == "$lineno" ]; then
        echo "export  MBR_CNT_PRCP_TYPE_CODES_DEL=\"$MBR_CNT_PRCP_TYPE_CODES_DEL\""
   fi
   let lineno=lineno+1
   echo "$line"
done >$Parm_file_name

NAME
DtEditorGoToLine -- move the insert cursor for a DtEditor widget to a specified line SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h> void DtEditorGoToLine( Widget widget, int lineNumber); DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorGoToLine function moves the insert cursor for the DtEditor widget to the beginning of the line specified by the lineNumber argument. The cursor can be moved to the last line by specifying DtEDITOR_LAST_LINE as the line number. If the line is not currently on- screen, the contents for the DtEditor widget are scrolled to display the new insertion position. The lineNumber argument is the number of the line in the file, counting from 1. If the lineNumber argument is less than 1, the insert cur- sor is placed at the beginning of the first line. If the argument is greater than the total number of lines, the cursor is placed at the last line of text. The insert cursor can be moved to a specific character position with DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(3). The DtNtopCharacter resource can be used to control which line is displayed at the top of the DtEditor widget. The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. The lineNumber argument specifies the line number within the DtEditor widget. For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). RETURN VALUE
The DtEditorGoToLine function returns no value. SEE ALSO
Dt/Editor.h - DtEditor(5), DtEditor(3), DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(3). DtEditorGoToLine(library call)
