Hello All, I'm able to achieve my goal of creating a fixed width file from a comma delimited but I know I'm not doing it as efficiently as possible.
Original File
Desired/Achieved Output
I was able to achieve the desired output in this manner.
Creating 5 files to get to the final.txt isn't ideal but it's much quicker than our previous way of running it through excel formulas. Any direction y'all could provide to clean this up would be greatly appreciated.

All,
I used to use following command to replace specific location in a fixed width file.
Recently looks like my command stopped working as intended. We are on AIX unix.
awk 'function repl(s,f,t,v)
{ return substr(s,1,f-1) sprintf("%-*s", t-f+1, v) substr(s,t+1) }

fixadd
fixadd(3alleg4) Allegro manual fixadd(3alleg4)NAME
fixadd - Safe function to add fixed point numbers clamping overflow. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
fixed fixadd(fixed x, fixed y);
DESCRIPTION
Although fixed point numbers can be added with the normal '+' integer operator, that doesn't provide any protection against overflow. If
overflow is a problem, you should use this function instead. It is slower than using integer operators, but if an overflow occurs it will
set `errno' and clamp the result, rather than just letting it wrap. Example:
fixed result;
/* This will put 5035 into `result'. */
result = fixadd(itofix(5000), itofix(35));
/* Sets `errno' and puts -32768 into `result'. */
result = fixadd(itofix(-31000), itofix(-3000));
ASSERT(!errno); /* This will fail. */
RETURN VALUE
Returns the clamped result of adding `x' to `y', setting `errno' to ERANGE if there was an overflow.
