I have the following script running every day numerous times a day and it works fine, but very occasionally I get the following error

if: Badly formed number.

awk '{ printf ("%-5s%-6s%-9s%-5s%-3s%-35s%-14s\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7) }'

Checked the file and you are correct the input file is wrong, so I think with the help of Radoulov and Era I've got there, many thanks indeed.

The original file2 had the following

0508 2206 LVTS5431 98 1
0506 0920 LVTS5750 141 3

but the output to file3 shows
0506 0920 LVTS5750 41 3nw_unix_live_dmz_duplex_35_35 NRUCCAE09-MGT

0509 0108 LVTS4687 58 1ltreb_shu1l110 shu1l110
0509 0108...

I'm sorry I get the same result with full path specified.

Got the following result

cat file1.txt | while read line
while: Expression syntax.

from

#!/bin/ksh

cat file1.txt | while read line
do
JOBNAME=$(echo ${line} | awk '{print $3}')...

Brilliant Thanks very much indeed!
