Thank you so much Don. I'll take a look.
--- Post updated 01-22-19 at 07:06 AM ---
I read through that thread Don and while I must admit that I do not exactly follow all of it, it seems to be a bit different than what I am asking here. My problem is not so much dealing with repeated values, but rather getting that "for" loop to work in my awk script.
To isolate the problem further, I am having trouble getting $2 in File 1 to precisely match a string in File 2 on lines that begin with "Lexeme" (~/ ^L/) giving me fits. I have highlighted the two lines of code in both of the example *.awk scripts with red font. In principle something similar to awk 'FNR==NR{B[$2]; next}{for (b in B) if ($0 ~b) print} ' File[12] should do the trick, but relative to this particular issue: (A) I'm having difficulty getting something like that to work in my script; and (B) this does not produce exact matches, but rather treats the values of $2 in File 1 as strings (rather than say $2 ~/^pattern$/). Thus for the line in File 1 that reads PS005,007 ML I'll get matches such as MLL> MLT> TQML, etc.
Hopefully that hones in on my particular impasse that I'm experiencing.

@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk

...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
