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

Dear AWK-experts!
I did get stuck in the task of combining files after matching fields, so I'm still awkward with learning AWK.

colrm
COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
