Why would you want to use awk?

There's a number of ways. Such as:

Code:
awk '{print "converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c \"" $2 "\" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  \"" $5 "\" -e ORA -m \""$4,$8 "\""}' file | sh

(without | sh for testing...)
Code:
$ cat file
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 J1
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 J2

$ awk '{print "converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c \"" $2 "\" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  \"" $5 "\" -e ORA -m \""$4,$8 "\""}' file
converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c "A2" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  "A5" -e ORA -m "A4 A8"
converter.pl -r MS_OVO_PROXY -c "B2" -t T -i ORA_PERF_ALERT -h  "B5" -e ORA -m "B4 B8"

But stick with the while-loop. It's cleaner, and just as efficient.

void XtAppSetTypeConverter(XtAppContext app_context, String from_type, String to_type, XtConverter converter, XtConvertArgList con- vert_args, Cardinal num_args, XtCacheType cache_type, XtDestructor destructor); void XtSetTypeConverter(String from_type, String to_type, XtConverter converter, XtConvertArgList convert_args, Cardinal num_args, XtCa- cheType cache_type, XtDestructor destructor); ARGUMENTS
app_context Specifies the application context. converter Specifies the type converter procedure. convert_args Specifies how to compute the additional arguments to the converter or NULL. from_type Specifies the source type. num_args Specifies the number of additional arguments to the converter or zero. to_type Specifies the destination type. cache_type Specifies whether or not resources produced by this converter are sharable or display-specific and when they should be freed. destructor Specifies a destroy procedure for resources produced by this conversion, or NULL if no additional action is required to deallo- cate resources produced by the converter. DESCRIPTION
XtSetTypeConverter registers the specified type converter and destructor in all application contexts created by the calling process, including any future application contexts that may be created. XtAppSetTypeConverter registers the specified type converter in the single application context specified. If the same from_type and to_type are specified in multiple calls to either function, the most recent over- rides the previous ones. SEE ALSO
