Hello ramkumar15,

Following may help you in same.
Code:
awk '
BEGIN {sum=0} ## In begining sum variable is set to 0
{sum=sum+$5}  ## Now adding $5 values each time with it's previous values so that we can get complete SUM of $5 in variable sum
END {print sum}' input_file  ## At last printing value of variable sum

Thanks,
R. Singh

sum

sum(3tcl)						     Cyclic Redundancy Checks							 sum(3tcl)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       sum - Calculate a sum(1) compatible checksum

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.2

       package require sum  ?1.1.0?

       ::crc::sum ?-bsd | -sysv? ?-format fmt? ?-chunksize size? [ -filename file | -channel chan | string ]

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides	a Tcl-only implementation of the sum(1) command which calculates a 16 bit checksum value from the input data.  The
       BSD sum algorithm is used by default but the SysV algorithm is also available.

COMMANDS

       ::crc::sum ?-bsd | -sysv? ?-format fmt? ?-chunksize size? [ -filename file | -channel chan | string ]
	      The command takes string data or a file name or a channel and returns a checksum value calculated using the  sum(1)  algorithm.  The
	      result is formatted using the format(3tcl) specifier provided or as an unsigned integer (%u) by default.

OPTIONS

       -sysv  The SysV algorithm is fairly naive. The byte values are summed and any overflow is discarded. The lowest 16 bits are returned as the
	      checksum.  Input with the same content but different ordering will give the same result.

       -bsd   This algorithm is similar to the SysV version but includes a bit rotation step which provides a dependency on the order of the  data
	      values.

       -filename name
	      Return a checksum for the file contents instead of for parameter data.

       -channel chan
	      Return  a  checksum  for	the  contents  of the specified channel. The channel must be open for reading and should be configured for
	      binary translation. The channel will no be closed on completion.

       -chunksize size
	      Set the block size used when reading data from either files or channels. This value defaults to 4096.

       -format string
	      Return the checksum using an alternative format template.

EXAMPLES

	      % crc::sum "Hello, World!"
	      37287

	      % crc::sum -format 0x%X "Hello, World!"
	      0x91A7

	      % crc::sum -file sum.tcl
	      13392
