Ok,
Got rid of the slash - now have two error messages left
/u01/TEST1/app/geneva/bin/autoAccpay.sh[610]: -v: not found
/u01/TEST1/app/geneva/bin/autoAccpay.sh[613]: -v: not found
this relates to these lines of code

nawk -F\| -v CTY=$ICO \
-v oldamt=$prvamt \ -v newamt=$payin \
-v size=$cursize \
-v newday=$TODAY \ 'BEGIN {OFS="|"}
$1 == CTY {
if ($7 == oldamt) {
$7 = newamt
$2 = newday
$3 = newsum
}
}
{print} ' $PARFILE

I'm pulling my hair out - is it an obvius problem because it is still not updating the $PARFILE.

Sorry for bing a pain
