This too did not work...
Code:

    if [ "$2" = "525" ]; then
        PATHNAME="$PATH525[*]"
    elif [ "$2" = "533" ]; then

    elif [ "$2" = "ZY" ]; then
        PATHNAME="$PATHZY[*]"
    fi
    echo "pathname is $PATHNAME"
    for FileNameIndx in "${PATHNAME[@]}"
          do
          if [[ ! -e "dest_path/$FileNameIndx" ]]; then
              ls -ltr "$FileNameIndx" | grep root | awk '{print string path $9}' string="$CONSTANT" path="$FileNameIndx"  >> "$FileName"
              echo "$FileNameIndx is copied"

Name
       stl_mi - software distribution master inventory file format

Description
       The master inventory (mi) files are used by the subset kitting program when manufacturing subsets for installation with the utility.

       A master inventory file contains one record for each file in a product containing vendor-specified attribute information about each file in
       the kit.

       The master inventory contains ASCII data, one record per line.  Each record is composed of three fields, which must  be	separated  by  TAB
       characters.

       Here is a description of each of the fields:

       FLAGS	 This is an integer flags value. The two lowest bits of this flag are defined. All other bits are reserved for use by Digital.

		 Bit  0 of this flag is the precedence bit. Setting the precedence bit for a file indicates to that a new copy of this file is not
		 as important to the target system as a copy that is already there. This is used by when determining which files to restore to the
		 system  after	updating a subset. Files containing configuration information that can be modified after being installed are often
		 marked with this flag.

		 Bit 1 of this flag is defined as the volatility bit. It is used to indicate that the file will change after  being  installed	to
		 the  target  system  and that the changes do not indicate that the contents of the file have been corrupted.  When an application
		 requires a log file, it is often installed as a zero length file on the target system. Such log files are normally marked in  the
		 master inventory with bit 1.

       PATHNAME  This  is  the name of the file for which the record exists. The pathname in this field must begin with a leading period (.).  All
		 records in the file must be sorted in ascending order on this field. There cannot be two records in a master inventory that  rep-
		 resent the same file. The program enforces these requirements.

       SUBSET	 The  name of the subset to which the file belongs. A file can be distributed as part of one subset only. Files that share a gnode
		 (links) must be in the same subset. Files that are in the product hierarchy but are not distributed as part of any subset  should
		 have a dash (-) in this field.
