Since you are asking for help with basic AWK tasks, you may not be competent to judge which approach is the simpler one. You may think that avoiding END is simpler, for whatever reason, when it may not be. This isn't the first thread in which you've recently requested an AWK solution that avoids END, and in each case the constraint complicates the code. This is an odd way to "keep it simple."

Perhaps if you shared the entire script we could confirm that your solution is actually the simplest, if not simplify it further.

In case it's relevant and you are not aware, an awk script can contain multiple END patterns, not just one. So if you are composing a solution from multiple source files, that's not a problem. END patterns will be executed in the order in which they appear.

	8  I = Incoming or O = Outgoing
	9  Cause Code if connection was not established
       10  Number of bytes transferred (incoming)
       11  Number of bytes transferred (outgoing)
       12  Version number of isdnlog
       13  ISDN Service Code
       14  1 = called by isdn user, 0 = called by analog user
       15  Costs per charge unit (e.g. 0.062 in Germany)
       16  Currency of charge unit (e.g. EUR in most parts of Europe)
