I tried this, but it is printing only ABC

Script is

Code:
flag=0
       for file in $(cat sysctl.conf);
        do
                field=`echo $file | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "=" } { print $1 }'`
                val=`echo $file | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "=" } { print $2 }'`
                        if [ $field = "ABC" ] && [ $val -ge 123 ]; then
                               echo $field"="$val >> sysctl.conf2
                               flag=1
                        elif [ $field = "ABC" ] && [ $val -lt 123 ]; then
                                echo $field"=123" >> sysctl.conf2
                                flag=1
                        elif [ $field != "ABC" ]; then
                                echo $field"="$val >> sysctl.conf2
                        fi
                        
                        if [ $field = "XYZ" ] && [ $val -ge 456 ]; then
                               echo $field"="$val >> sysctl.conf3
                               flag=1
                        elif [ $field = "XYZ" ] && [ $val -lt 456 ]; then
                                echo $field"=456" >> sysctl.conf3
                                flag=1
                        elif [ $field != "XYZ" ]; then
                                echo $field"="$val >> sysctl.conf3
                        fi

        done

                        if [ $flag -eq 0 ]; then
                                echo "ABC=123" >> sysctl.conf2
                                echo "XYZ=456" >> sysctl.conf3
                        fi
                cat sysctl.conf2 > sysctl.conf
                cat sysctl.conf3 > sysctl.conf
                rm sysctl.conf2 sysctl.conf3

AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)						    Miscellanea 						 AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
