Are you sure about the input file
This does not look like the input file. The field seperator has been set to | in your awk script. The input data does not have any | symbols to seperate the fields.

Hi Rajesh,

I know that in the input file there are no "| signs. But this is the input file which generates that report. If you want, I can upload the shell script too which is calling this awk script and generating output file.

Actually, I am not the author of all these scripts.

Regards,
Inder

excerpts from shell script
if [ -f 830gm.dat ]
then
/usr/bin/awk -f $BIN_DIR/gm_delfor.awk 830gm.dat >gm_delfor.doc
mpack -s "GM's DELFOR" ./gm_delfor.doc isingh@xyz.com
mv 830gm.dat 830gm.$wdate
mv gm_delfor.doc gm_delfor.$wdate
fi

Hi Rajeeb,

Thanks a lot for pointing my in the right direction!!

After I wrote my previous messages, I have gone through the script one more time and found that the input file is not the same as I uploaded before.

The one problem has been resolved.

Thanks guys!!!

I am still interested
Could you upload the actual input data file. I want to have a look at it. I am a big time fan of sed and awk. I would like to see what we can do with your script.
