Hi,

awk: Cannot find or open file $C

if i give the way you told i am getting the error as
Code:
awk: Cannot find or open file $WOR_/Work_TIR453220100721533.txt

My modified code
Code:
awk '{ 
   if ( substr($0, 392, 1)=="C" )
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 15)  substr($0, 386, 3)
   else
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 18)
   print $0 > "$WOR/Work_" DOC ".txt"
}' $INPUT/$param_InputFileName

Sorry, I forgot a modification (Assume that WOR is'nt a shell variable):
Code:
awk '{ 
   if ( substr($0, 392, 1)=="C" )
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 15)  substr($0, 386, 3);
   else
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 18);
   print $0 > "WOR/WORK_" DOC ".txt"
}' $INPUT/$param_InputFileName

If WOR is a shell variable :
Code:
awk '{ 
   if ( substr($0, 392, 1)=="C" )
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 15)  substr($0, 386, 3);
   else
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 18);
   print $0 > Dir "/WORK_" DOC ".txt"
}' Dir=$WOR $INPUT/$param_InputFileName

Hi I tried with this option i got the below error
Code:
awk '{ 
   if ( substr($0, 392, 1)=="C" )
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 15)  substr($0, 386, 3)
   else
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 18)

   print $0 > $WOR "/WORK_" DOC ".txt"
}' $INPUT/$param_InputFileName

Error for above code:
Code:
awk: Field  is not correct.
 The input line number is 1. The file is inputfilename.
 The source line number is 6.




Them i read i have to put the awk in single quotes i tried to put this below way

Code:
awk '{ 
   if ( substr($0, 392, 1)=="C" )
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 15)  substr($0, 386, 3)
   else
      DOC = substr($0, 28, 18)

   print $0 > '"$WOR"' "/WORK_" DOC ".txt"
}' $INPUT/$param_InputFileName

ERROR For above code:

Code:
awk: Cannot divide by zero.

 The input line number is 1. The file is input filename.
 The source line number is 7.
