So, let me see if I understand this. You ask to have TOTA printed with commas, I provide you with code that will do that, and you throw away the code I provided that would do that.

And after showing you how to print TOTA the way you said you wanted it, you aren't even willing to try something similar to print TOTA and AMT[i].

Why did you throw away the code I suggested? Can't you try to adapt the printf example I gave you to print AMT[i] in the format you want?

And the script you provided doesn't even come close to producing the output you said it produces. (The spacing is different and the order of the output lines is different.)

What OS are you using that produces the output you showed us from that awk script???

shasum

SHASUM(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide						 SHASUM(1)

NAME

       shasum - Print or Check SHA Checksums

SYNOPSIS

	Usage: shasum [OPTION] [FILE]...
	   or: shasum [OPTION] --check [FILE]
	Print or check SHA checksums.
	With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

	 -a, --algorithm    1 (default), 224, 256, 384, 512
	 -b, --binary	    read files in binary mode (default on DOS/Windows)
	 -c, --check	    check SHA sums against given list
	 -p, --portable     read files in portable mode
				produces same digest on Windows/Unix/Mac
	 -t, --text	    read files in text mode (default)

	The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums:

	 -s, --status	    don't output anything, status code shows success
	 -w, --warn	    warn about improperly formatted SHA checksum lines

	 -h, --help	    display this help and exit
	 -v, --version	    output version information and exit

	The sums are computed as described in FIPS PUB 180-2.  When checking,
	the input should be a former output of this program.  The default mode
	is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*'
	for binary, `?' for portable, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.

DESCRIPTION

       The shasum script provides the easiest and most convenient way to compute SHA message digests.  Rather than writing a program, the user
       simply feeds data to the script via the command line, and waits for the results to be printed on standard output.  Data can be fed to
       shasum through files, standard input, or both.

       The following command shows how easy it is to compute digests for typical inputs such as the NIST test vector "abc":

	       perl -e "print qw(abc)" | shasum

       Or, if you want to use SHA-256 instead of the default SHA-1, simply say:

	       perl -e "print qw(abc)" | shasum -a 256

       Since shasum uses the same interface employed by the familiar sha1sum program (and its somewhat outmoded anscestor md5sum), you can install
       this script as a convenient drop-in replacement.
