May I question that your script has ever worked, no matter what the system was? t-f+1 with f=478 and t=1 will yield a negative number not suitable as a width parameter for sprintf. Even if you remove the - sign from the format string, the result is inacceptable, adding about 2000 spaces to each of your lines.
Try
and report back on the results.

I have a fixed with file with header & trailer length having the same length of the detail record file.

Input eg:
Ouput Expected.
The #rd line had the unexpted new line, which need to be replaced with space.
I was planing to go with checking the length of each line using awk and if the length is less than the defeined limit, (12 in above case) will replace the newline with space.

hi,
i have a fixed width file with multiple columns and need to print data using awk command.
i use: awk -F "|" '($5 == BH) {print $1,$2,$3}' <non_AIM target>.txt for a delimiter file.
but now i have a fixed width file like below:

Hi Forum.
I have the following script that splits a large fixed-width file into smaller multiple fixed-width files based on input segment type.
The main command in the script is:

Hi Forum.
I tried searching for a solution using the internet search but I haven't been able to find any solution for what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a fixed width column file where I need to search for any occurrences of "D0" in col pos.#1-2, 10-11, 20-21 and replaced it with "XD".

snprintf
sprintf(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers sprintf(9F)NAME
sprintf, snprintf - format characters in memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h>
char *sprintf(char *buf, const char *fmt, ...);
size_t snprintf(char *buf, size_t n, const char *fmt, ...);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
buf Pointer to a character string.
fmt Pointer to a character string.
DESCRIPTION
sprintf() builds a string in buf under the control of the format fmt. The format is a character string with either plain characters, which
are simply copied into buf, or conversion specifications, each of which converts zero or more arguments, again copied into buf. The results
are unpredictable if there are insufficient arguments for the format; excess arguments are simply ignored. It is the user's responsibility
to ensure that enough storage is available for buf.
The snprintf() function is identical to sprintf() with the addition of the argument n, which specifies the size of the buffer referred to
by buf. The buffer is always terminated with the null byte.
Conversion Specifications
Each conversion specification is introduced by the % character, after which the following appear in sequence:
An optional value specifying a minimum field width for numeric conversion. The converted value will be right-justified and, if it has fewer
characters than the minimum, is padded with leading spaces unless the field width is an octal value, then it is padded with leading zeroes.
An optional l (ll) specifying that a following d, D, o, O, x, X, or u conversion character applies to a long (long long) integer argument.
An l (ll) before any other conversion character is ignored.
A character indicating the type of conversion to be applied:
d,D,o,O,x,X,u
The integer argument is converted to signed decimal (d, D), unsigned octal (o, O), unsigned hexadecimal (x, X) or unsigned decimal (u),
respectively, and copied. The letters abcdef are used for x conversion. The letters ABCDEF are used for X conversion.
c
The character value of argument is copied.
b
This conversion uses two additional arguments. The first is an integer, and is converted according to the base specified in the second
argument. The second argument is a character string in the form <base>[<arg>...]. The base supplies the conversion base for the first
argument as a binary value; 10 gives octal, 20 gives hexadecimal. Each subsequent <arg> is a sequence of characters, the first of
which is the bit number to be tested, and subsequent characters, up to the next bit number or terminating null, supply the name of the
bit.
A bit number is a binary-valued character in the range 1-32. For each bit set in the first argument, and named in the second argument,
the bit names are copied, separated by commas, and bracketed by < and >. Thus, the following function call would generate
reg=3<BitTwo,BitOne>
in buf.
sprintf(buf, "reg=%b
", 3, "102BitTwo1BitOne")
p
The argument is taken to be a pointer; the value of the pointer is displayed in unsigned hexadecimal. The display format is equivalent
to %lx. To avoid lint warnings, cast pointers to type void * when using the %p format specifier.
s
The argument is taken to be a string (character pointer), and characters from the string are copied until a null character is encoun-
tered. If the character pointer is NULL, the string <null string> is used in its place.
%
Copy a %; no argument is converted.
RETURN VALUES
sprintf() returns its first argument, buf.
snprintf() returns the number of characters formatted, that is, the number of characters that would have been written to the buffer if it
were large enough. If the value of n is less than or equal to 0 on a call to snprintf(), the function simply returns the number of charac-
ters formatted.
CONTEXT
sprintf() and snprintf() can be called from user or interrupt context.
