This command also generate the error and the complete output converted into garbage.
The error is as below:
Code:
 
 Syntax Error The source line is 6.
 The error context is
                         >>>    parm=$(print <<<  "$parm" | nawk {05399274=05399274}
 awk: 0602-502 The statement cannot be correctly parsed. The source line is 6.
        awk: 0602-541 There are 2 missing } characters.
        awk: 0602-540 There is a missing ) character.

My problem has been resolved as I used substr function to get 3 characters only as below:
Code:
 parm=$90
 parm= substr(parm,1,3)
