Hi Experts,

Apologies in case i am disturbing you with my posts.
I am not much good with awk scripting but I do shell scripting and try to learn more with the issues i come across
But sincerely i need to know work around for this query.

I tried the below code, but it is not working as per my expectation.
It is working when column 2 contains unique value in every row, but if row 2 and row 5 contains same value, it prints "error".
Code:
awk -F"|" '
{++CNT[$1]
}
{++ABC[$2]
}

(CNT[$1] && ABC[$2] > 1) { print "error"
        }
'

Request if you can help to improve.

I need to have file suppose that contains duplicate values in column 1 then against those duplicate value in column 2 there should be unique values
In above sample file.
There wont' be 2 line per document number, there can be any number of duplicate values, it can be more than 5 or even 50
Yes, there should be non-identical number in column2(Line number) per Document number(column1) and there is no limit on number, they just has to be non duplicate.
if column 1 contain duplicate values in row then corresponding to those duplicate values in row column 2 should contain non duplicate values

NAME
psc - prepare sc files SYNOPSIS
psc [-fLkrSPv] [-s cell] [-R n] [-C n] [-n n] [-d c] DESCRIPTION
Psc is used to prepare data for input to the spreadsheet calculator sc(1). It accepts normal ascii data on standard input. Standard out- put is a sc file. With no options, psc starts the spreadsheet in cell A0. Strings are right justified. All data on a line is entered on the same row; new input lines cause the output row number to increment by one. The default delimiters are tab and space. The column for- mats are set to one larger than the number of columns required to hold the largest value in the column. OPTIONS
-f Omit column width calculations. This option is for preparing data to be merged with an existing spreadsheet. If the option is not specified, the column widths calculated for the data read by psc will override those already set in the existing spreadsheet. -L Left justify strings. -k Keep all delimiters. This option causes the output cell to change on each new delimiter encountered in the input stream. The default action is to condense multiple delimiters to one, so that the cell only changes once per input data item. -r Output the data by row first then column. For input consisting of a single column, this option will result in output of one row with multiple columns instead of a single column spreadsheet. -s cell Start the top left corner of the spreadsheet in cell. For example, -s B33 will arrange the output data so that the spreadsheet starts in column B, row 33. -R n Increment by n on each new output row. -C n Increment by n on each new output column. -n n Output n rows before advancing to the next column. This option is used when the input is arranged in a single column and the spreadsheet is to have multiple columns, each of which is to be length n. -d c Use the single character c as the delimiter between input fields. -P Plain numbers only. A field is a number only when there is no imbedded [-+eE]. -S All numbers are strings. -v Print the version of psc SEE ALSO
