I apologize; I must have been asleep when I looked at your code yesterday. Change:
Code:
awk '!/^$/{ a=substr($0,1,4) print $0 > "SBSCR." a ".txt"}' harsha1.txt

to:
Code:
awk '!/^$/{ a=substr($0,1,4); print $0 > ("SBSCR." a ".txt")}' harsha1.txt

You need both the semicolon and the parentheses to turn this into a working and portable awk command.
