Sorry I thought your input file was double spaced (blank line between each data line)

You should use [code] and [/code] tags around your data not [icode] and [/icode].

Also are some of those lines indented with spaces, it looks like they might be...This should work a little better:

Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '
  $2 ~ "^ *FILE_TRIGGER"{gsub(" *ENVAR ENV=/home2/[^\n]*\n","")}
  NF{printf "%s","/* -"$0}' RS='/[*] -' FS='\n' infile
