Seems your awk don't support (NF>2)?$0 RS:$0 FS

below code has been tested in AIX

Code:
awk '/^INSERT/,/@$/{if (NF>2) {printf $0 RS}else {printf $0 FS}}' infile |awk '{print >$3}'

Thanks to both for this. It works for the first couple of files, but looks like something is tripping it in the 3rd file. It does produce the file but stops.

I will investigate and see if I can spot anything.

clever piece of code.
awk: 0602-565 There are not enough parameters in printf statement polc.LITExpandata2 (OBJID,PARID,COMPANY,RECIND,NAME,SHORTNAME,RPTNAME,KEYVALUE,FLAG1,FLAG2,FLAG3,FLAG4,FLAG5,FLAG6,FLAG 7,FLAG8,FLAG9,FLAG10,LANGUAGE) VALUES (-1,-1,1,55,'20% NCB ','20% NCB ','20% NCB ','20 ','N',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ','en')@

The input line number is 4948. The file is /home/db2inst1/StaticData/CustomerStaticDataExport-028.sql.
The source line number is 1.
awk: 0602-576 A print or getline function must have a file name.
