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
