Thanks for the reply. I was actually looking for one solution s u said for both the issues. But your code is not working as when i use RS and ORS i get error for some columns as specified below:
Code:
awk: Input line
0000030075,IPA,4,AE cannot be longer than 3,000 bytes.
 The input line number is 44. The file is DCIA_C150_R01_PLN_SEG_DATA.TXT.
 The source line number is 1.

It seems i am using HP-UNIX that's why i cannot use the above code.
Do you have any alternative way so i could have one solution for both the issues.

There is an addition to the requirement as Don Mentioned. The 4th field or any other existing field(apart from 2nd and 3rd which if null should be defaulted to ND) if null should also be defaulted to space along with the additional fields being added

Help as always appreciated. Smilie

LOGFILE(1)							       mrtg								LOGFILE(1)

NAME
logfile - description of the mrtg-2 logfile format SYNOPSIS
This document provides a description of the contents of the mrtg-2 logfile. OVERVIEW
The logfile consists of two main sections. A very short one at the beginning: The first Line It stores the traffic counters from the most recent run of mrtg The rest of the File Stores past traffic rate averates and maxima at increassing intervals The first number on each line is a unix time stamp. It represents the number of seconds since 1970. DETAILS
The first Line The first line has 3 numbers which are: A (1st column) A timestamp of when MRTG last ran for this interface. The timestamp is the number of non-skip seconds passed since the standard UNIX "epoch" of midnight on 1st of January 1970 GMT. B (2nd column) The "incoming bytes counter" value. C (3rd column) The "outgoing bytes counter" value. The rest of the File The second and remaining lines of the file 5 numbers which are: A (1st column) The Unix timestamp for the point in time the data on this line is relevant. Note that the interval between timestamps increases as you prograss through the file. At first it is 5 minutes and at the end it is one day between two lines. This timestamp may be converted in EXCEL by using the following formula: =(x+y)/86400+DATE(1970,1,1) you can also ask perl to help by typing perl -e 'print scalar localtime(x)," "' x is the unix timestamp and y is the offset in seconds from UTC. (Perl knows y). B (2nd column) The average incoming transfer rate in bytes per second. This is valid for the time between the A value of the current line and the A value of the previous line. C (3rd column) The average outgoing transfer rate in bytes per second since the previous measurement. D (4th column) The maximum incoming transfer rate in bytes per second for the current interval. This is calculated from all the updates which have occured in the current interval. If the current interval is 1 hour, and updates have occured every 5 minutes, it will be the biggest 5 minute transferrate seen during the hour. E (5th column) The maximum outgoing transfer rate in bytes per second for the current interval. AUTHOR
