awk: 0602-502 The statement cannot be correctly parsed. The source line is 1.

and the file has the data like I mentioned in my early post

/dev/cm/test1.txt
/qa/tm/hmkr/cc/test2.txt

Can we get above result using awk command

You can get the above result for this exact input. But, to get a reliable solution we need more details about what the what forms of pathnames can exist in your input file, what shell you're using, and whether or not your environment supports a super root file system.

If the contents of your input file only contains absolute pathnames, never contains the pathname "/", and either your environment doesn't support a super root or your input file will never contain the pathname of a file in your root directory; then the solution Scott proposed will work and can be translated into awk code if you really need something much less efficient.

If your input contains any relative pathnames that don't contain a / character, we need a completely different approach.

If your environment includes a super root (where //node refers to the root of the system named node on your local network), there is another set of issues that need to be considered before we can propose an approach that will work reliably.

So, instead of giving us a two line example of what the input might look like, please give us an explicit description of the allowed input file format.

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
