The minimum to understand an awk script (Extract from awk man pages) :
Quote:
Files are processed in the following way:

1. The awk command scans its instructions and executes any actions specified
to occur before the input file is read.

2. One record is read from the input file.

3. The record is compared against each pattern specified by the awk command's
instructions.

4. If the record matches a pattern, any actions associated with that pattern
are performed on the record.

5. After the record is compared to each pattern, and all specified actions are
performed, the next record is read from input; the process is repeated
until all records are read from the input file.

6. If multiple input files have been specified, the next file is then opened
and the process repeated until all input files have been read.

7. After the last record in the last file is read, the awk command executes
any instructions specified to occur after the input processing.


The awk command programming language consists of statements in the form:

Pattern { Action }

If a record matches the specified pattern, or contains a field which matches the
pattern, the associated action is then performed. A pattern can be specified
without an action, in which case the entire line containing the pattern is
written to standard output. An action specified without a pattern is performed
for every input record.
The following code :
Code:
/Targ Rowid=/ { 
   Rejected_count++ ;
   Get_detail++;
   printf "#%d => %s\n", Rejected_count, Ora_error;
   next;      # Proceeds with the next
input record.

}

/^)/ && Get_detail {
   print Rejected_count,Values_detail > Outfile; 
   Values_detail = "";
   Get_detail = 0;
   next;
}

Get_detail {
   sub(/\(.*\):/,"=");
   Values_detail = Values_detail $0 "|"
}

Can be rewritten like that :
Code:
$0 ~ /Targ Rowid=/ { 
   Rejected_count = Rejected_count + 1 ;
   Get_detail     = 1;
   printf "#%d => %s\n", Rejected_count, Ora_error;
   next;
}

if $0 /^)/ && Get_detail != 0 {
   print Rejected_count,Values_detail > Outfile; 
   Values_detail = "";
   Get_detail = 0;
   next;
}

Get_detail != 0 {
   sub(/\(.*\):/,"=");
   Values_detail = Values_detail $0 "|"
}

Get_detail isn't a function, it's a variable used as a boolean (0=false, other values=true).

There is no command to get this kind of detail.
This detail is the result of my analyse of your script.
