Or, if you want a modified version of my commented script, you could try:
Code:
awk '
BEGIN {	# Initialize skip array: S[fn] = char
	# If field #3 contains the character specified by char, do NOT check
	# the contents of field #fn.
	S[7] = "S"
	S[8] = "E"
	S[9] = "A"
	S[10] = "M"
	S[11] = "P"
	S[12] = "N"
	S[13] = "C"
}
NR < 2 {# Add the requested heading field to the header line...
	print $0, "Newcolumn"
	# and skip to the next input line.
	next
}
{	# Clear warning flag.
	w = 0
	# For all other input lines, check fields 7-13 inclusive:
	for(i = 7; i <= 13; i++)
		# If the character corresponding to the field is not prsent in
		# field #3 AND the field contains a non-zero value...
		if($3 !~ S[i] && $i) {
			# Mark the field bad and set the warning flag.
			w = 1
			$i = "Bad" $i
		}
	# Print the input line followed by "WARNING" if a non-zero value was
	# found in a field to be checked; otherwise, print the input line
	# followed by "GOOD".
	print $0, w ? "WARNING" : "GOOD"
}' file2

which, if file2 contains:
Code:

JOIN(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   JOIN(1)

NAME
join - relational database operator SYNOPSIS
join [ options ] file1 file2 DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard input is used. File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in each line. There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con- sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2. Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis- carded. These options are recognized: -an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2. -e s Replace empty output fields by string s. -jn m Join on the mth field of file n. If n is missing, use the mth field in each file. -o list Each output line comprises the fields specified in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a field number. -tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant. SEE ALSO
sort(1), comm(1), awk(1) BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort. The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous. 7th Edition April 29, 1985 JOIN(1)
