Not quite the way to get date in. From inside of awk you cannot use backquotes like that. This is one way which should work with even older awks. I haven't used an AIX system since about 2001, and then only briefly, so I'm not sure what awk you have installed and what it supports.

Code:

 lpar-command | awk '
/^Name/ { next; }
/^---/ { next; }
{
    state[$2] = state[$2] $1 " ";
    if( $2 == "A" )
        acount++;
    else
        others++;
}
END {
printf( "==== WPAR Status Check =====\n" );
printf( "==== %s ====\n", date );
printf( "**** WPAR state Active:\n\t%s\n", state["A"] );
printf( "\t%d WPAR state A-Active\n\n", acount );
printf( "**** WPAR state Defined/Transition/broken:\n\t%s %s %s\n", state["D"], state["T"], state["B"] );
printf( "\t%d WPARs are in Defined/Transition/Broken state\n", others );
}
' date="$(date)" |mail-command

If $(date) doesn't work (I did assume you're using a modern kshell or bash) replace with `date`.

The way this works is to execute the date command in the shell, and supply that to awk as a variable. The original (or very early) awk specification allowed for variables to be defined like this after the programme, and before the list of input files (if any).

Hope this helps.

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
