I'm surprised when an awk script is written in that way, I almost don't understan the logic to customize it.

The record initiator will be always the line STAGE = 1
The Record terminator will be the empty line before the next Record Initiator. The issue is that in the original file the records with duplicate fields (rec 3) has empty lines before the occurence of next Record Initiator. And between Record Terminator and next Record Initiator (in green) could be more than one empty line and some garbaje lines (in red).

At the end of file appears and END string.

This would be a better representation of input file:
Code:
some garbaje
some garbaje
some garbaje

STAGE = 1
ID = 0
NAME = JFMSC
TYPE = MLRR
DFRUL = PERMISSION
ADDR = 1001
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = TRUE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

some garbaje
some garbaje

STAGE = 1
ID = 2
NAME = PLLSJS
TYPE = MLRR
DFRUL = PERMISSION

some garbaje
some garbaje

STAGE = 1
ID = 4
NAME = AAAARR
TYPE = MLRR
DFRUL = RESTRICT
ADDR = 3553
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

ADDR = 66444
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

ADDR = 890087
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

some garbaje
some garbaje

STAGE = 1
ID = 0
NAME = PPROOA
TYPE = RRHN
DFRUL = PERMISSION
ADDR = 7034
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

---    END

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
