Both gawk didn't worked. I got the below error. I think I am using old version of awk, Below is what I tried my input files in format like LATAM_TRANS so I replace the input file in the command

Code:
gawk -i inplace -v -F";" 'FNR==1{close(file);file=FILENAME} /22001/{val=val?val ORS $0:$0;$1=11048;val_11048=val_11048?val_11048 ORS $0:$0;next} /22002/ && val && val_11048{print val_11048 ORS val;val=val_11048="";next} 1' OFS=";"  LATAM_TRANS

Usage: gawk [POSIX or GNU style options] -f progfile [--] file ...

gawk is a pattern scanning and processing language.
By default it reads standard input and writes standard output.

Examples:
        gawk '{ sum += $1 }; END { print sum }' file
        gawk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd

If those are constants, and no logics / algorithms needed / applied, it might be easier to just use an editor and do a block copy.
Yes the values are constant. I am using VI to do that. I have to do on 120 files on a directory. Like that I am having 18 directories. I have to find where 22001 is in the file and the copy it and then place it above as 11048. So it is taking time. Worked for 7 hours I completed only 96 files where I have 18*120 files

file::copy::link

File::Copy::Link(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     File::Copy::Link(3pm)

NAME

       File::Copy::Link - Perl extension for replacing a link by a copy of the linked file.

SYNOPSIS

	 use File::Copy::Link;
	 copylink 'file.lnk';

	 use File::Copy::Link qw(safecopylink);
	 safecopylink 'file.lnk';

DESCRIPTION

       "copylink"
	   reads the filename linked to by the argument and replaced the link with a copy of the file.	It opens a filehandle to read from the
	   link, deletes the link, and then copies the filehandle back to the link.

       "safecopylink"
	   does the same as "copylink" but without the open-and-delete manouvre.  Instead, it uses "File::Spec::Link" to find the target of the
	   link and copies from there.

       This module is mostly a wrapper round "File::Spec::Link::linked" and "File::Copy::copy", the functionality is available in a command line
       script copylink.

   EXPORT
       Nothing by default, can export "copylink", `"safecopylink".

SEE ALSO

       copylink(1) File::Copy(3) File::Spec::Link(3)
