[QUOTE=I'm assuming that you at least realize that this is an awk script file; not a shell script file. Please show us the exact command line that is being used to invoke awk using this script file and show us how the input file is being passed to awk. Is input coming from a tape drive with variable length records (that the script is then verifying all each contain 710 characters not counting the trailing newline character)?
What Linux system are you using?
What shell are you using on Linux?
What version of AIX are you using on your AIX server?
What shell is being used on your AIX server?
Is the input data file encoded in EBCDIC?[/QUOTE]
Hi Don,
Yes, sorry...yes I know it's an awk script based on the extension of the script.
==============
The process that invokes the awk script:
1. Check for source file arrival
2. Header date verified on incoming file from internal sql query to database
lookup table
3. Translate unwanted Characters to spaces
4. Move file from source directory to processing directory
After the above completes, the Verify Record Length AWK script automatically begins.
1. Veryifies total records and checks record lengths
===============
What Linux system are you using? Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)
What shell are you using on Linux? Korn
What version of AIX are you using on your AIX server? 5.3.0.0
What shell is being used on your AIX server? Korn
Is the input data file encoded in EBCDIC? Do not know.

SHCOMP(1) Korn shell utilities SHCOMP(1)
NAME
shcomp - compile a shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with
the same effect as the original script.
Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to
locale specific versions for internationalization.
If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from
standard input.
OPTIONS
[D dictionary] Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. [n noexec] Displays warn-
ing messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. [v verbose] Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
EXIT STATUS
0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
