If I do this :
Code:
grep -E 'System Capabilities: |System Desc' output.txt

Then I get:
Code:
System Description: 
System Capabilities: B
System Description: 
System Capabilities: B
System Description: 
System Capabilities: B&R
System Description: 
System Capabilities: B&R

Which means that the first "System Description" is before "System Capabilities" , so the first time SYCP is unset when the first line is printed. So the order appears to be wrong.. You would need to pick a point in the file, where you can be sure that all variables have been read.

Also it is best to clear all variables after printing.

BTW. You script appears to be twice in there and a bit mangled...

dxmhelpsystemopen

DXmHelpSystemOpen(3X)													     DXmHelpSystemOpen(3X)

NAME

       DXmHelpSystemOpen  - Completes initialization operations required by LinkWorks and prepares to display a topic from the specified help file
       name.

SYNOPSIS

       void DXmHelpSystemOpen(
	       Opaque *help_context,
	       Widget main_window,
	       char *help_file,
	       void ((*routine )()),
	       Opaque tag );

PARAMETERS

       Used by the DECwindows Motif Help System to pass required LinkWorks and help information from one routine to another.  Note that  help_con-
       text must be defined globally; the DXmHelpSystemDisplay and DXmHelpSystemClose routines subsequently use the address initially set for this
       parameter.  The identifier (ID) for the main window of the application.	The file name of the help file.  The default specifications are as
       follows:

	      ----------------------------------------
	      Default		   Description
	      ----------------------------------------
	      /usr/lib/X11/help/   Directory location
	      .decw_book	   File extension
	      ----------------------------------------

	      You can also provide your own location or extension along with the help file name.

	      Note  that help_file is required for this routine but is optional for DXmHelpSystemDisplay.  Used for error processing.  If an error
	      occurs within the DECwindows Motif Help System and it cannot be processed by either LinkWorks or Bookreader,  the  DECwindows  Motif
	      Help  System  calls the error processing routine you have included in your application and passes in an integer, or status, to indi-
	      cate the status of the error processing operation, as follows:

	      ---------------------------------------------------------------------
	      Value   Description
	      ---------------------------------------------------------------------
	      1       The  DECwindows  Motif  Help  System  could  not	find   the
		      LinkWorks shareable image.
	      2       The DECwindows Motif Help System could not translate a spec-
		      ified value into a valid file specification.
	      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

	      Note the following: The status parameter is a system-supplied parameter that supplements the routine and	tag  parameters  you  have
	      already  specified in the application.  If an error cannot be processed by either LinkWorks or Bookreader and you have not specified
	      a supplementary error handling routine, your system will generate an access violation error message.  The parameter  you	supply	to
	      the  previously  described  routine parameter.  Associating a tag with the routine enables you to more easily determine where errors
	      occur.

DESCRIPTION

									  Note

       This routine is not supported on all operating systems.

       Within the DECwindows Motif Help System, the  DXmHelpSystemOpen	routine  completes  all  of  the  initialization  operations  required	by
       LinkWorks,  such  as creating a DECwindows user interface object and a surrogate object, and then prepares to display a topic from the help
       file name passed in.  You should make the call to this routine just before the main loop of your application.
