Perhaps you are rite. Totally my mistake, after revisiting your code i found there is nothing wrong with the code and is the most elegant solution that can ever be for the situation.
Thanks neutronscott !!!!
All i knew about awk is that it starts with the first field of first record and progresses till the end of record visiting every field only once. But the execution flow in your solution seems different to me(may be i am wrong). Can u briefly explain if my understanding is correct or not ?

px_retrieve_record
PX_RETRIEVE_RECORD(3) PX_RETRIEVE_RECORD(3)
px_retrieve_record - Returns record of paradox database
SYNOPSIS
array px_retrieve_record (resource $pxdoc, int $num, [int $mode])
DESCRIPTION
This function is very similar to px_get_record(3) but uses internally a different approach to retrieve the data. It relies on pxlib for
reading each single field value, which usually results in support for more field types.
Note
This function is only available if pxlib >= 0.6.0 is used.
PARAMETERS
o $pxdoc
- Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3).
o $num
- The record number is an artificial number counting records in the order as they are stored in the database. The first record has
number 0.
o $mode
- The optional $mode can be PX_KEYTOLOWER or PX_KEYTOUPPER in order to convert the keys into lower or upper case. If $mode is not
passed or is 0, then the key will be exactly like the field name. The element values will contain the field values. NULL values
will be retained and are different from 0.0, 0 or the empty string. Fields of type PX_FIELD_TIME will be returned as an integer
counting the number of milliseconds starting at midnight. A timestamp is a floating point value also counting milliseconds start-
ing at the beginning of julian calendar.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the $num'th record from the paradox database. The record is returned as an associated array with its keys being the field names.
