Thank you RudiC and MadeInGermany. That works. Just wanted to know that during reading $2 is 0e123456789 but why does awk interpret $2 to 0 i.e., process $2 as scientific notation during ! $2 in earlier code. Can you please explain this behavior. Is this again specific to Linux as this was executing without issues in AIX. Thank you for your time.

Hi, awk seem to be acting differently in Unix and Linux when it comes to formatting. This is making it difficult to migrate scripts.
for example:
UNIX:
echo "123" |awk '{printf ("%05s\n" ,$1)}'
00123
echo "123" |awk '{printf ("%05d\n" ,$1)}'
00123
echo "S12" |awk '{printf ("%05s\n"... (9 Replies)
