Post#7 is quite misleading. After rereading and rereading, the last code tagged block seems to be the config/jeff.awk script to be run by awk. The first line looks like it is meant to "source" /location/to/properties/file/config.file, which is a bash (or, generally, shell) builtin. Of course, awk doesn't understand this and errors out accordingly.
And, not sure why you think you need those variables - they're not used anywhere.

You answered my question in this post. I am trying to source the config file just like I would do in a normal shell script. Obviously, that is one thing that is not working.
Code:
BEGIN {
FS=OFS=","
qq="\""
printf("<application name=%s$FIELD1%s>\n\t<field task=%supdate%s name=%s$FIELD2%s>\n", qq, qq,qq,qq,qq,qq)
}
{printf("\t<mapping db=%s%s%s displayed=%s%s%s />\n", qq, $1, qq, qq, $2, qq)}
END {
printf("\t</field>\n</application>\n")
}It might have been clearer if I could code a config file to be read from this awk script, much like I have the shell script reading from. I hope this makes sense. Thank you for the clarification and any further assistance.
