Output formatting
I have input file in this way


Code:
John   1234   BASIC       26000 
John   1234   ALLOWC      01550
John   1234   INCER       01700
John   1234   REL         20000
Debi   2345   BASIC       29000
Debi   2345   ALLOWC      01600
Debi   2345   INCR        01900
Debi   2345   REL         21000
Rob    3456   BASIC       15000
Rob    3456   REL         01500

The output require is in the fowllowing format
Code:
Name   EMP     BASIC     ALLOWC     INCER     REL
John    1234   26000     01550      01700      20000
Debi    2345   29000     01600      01900      21000
Rob     3456   15000      --         --        01500

Here some employee may have joined newly so may not get all the perq.
That thas to be left blank .
Had it been equal numbers of lines for each employee then we can use the command paste .

Thanks in advance

Try...
Code:
$ cat file1

Debi   2345   REL         21000
Rob    3456   BASIC       15000
Rob    3456   REL         01500

$ awk ' { d[$2, $3] = $4 }
      ! ($2 in k) { k[$2] = $1 ; h[++c] = $2 }
      ! ($3 in j) { j[$3] = 1 ; i[++m] = $3 }
      ! d["", $3] { d["", $3] = $3 }
      END {
            for (x = 0; x <= c; x++) {
                  z = h[x]
                  printf "%s%s%s%s", k[z], OFS, z, OFS
                  for (y = 1; y <= m; y++) {
                        w = i[y]
                        printf "%s%s", d[z, w], (y == m ? ORS : OFS)
                  }
            }
      }
    ' OFS="\t" file1 > file2

$ cat file2

Question
Ygor Thanks lot for your code and it worked,one more thing I have data
for more then 700 employees and when the data of two line and then
four lines and then threee lines , i.e. if the data varies as per the length of serivce , means Seniors have data of 4 lines and new recurits may have 2 lines there it does not give the reqiuied output ,
the red shows the change made to suit my requirement but it failed,
Code:
awk ' { d[$2, $3] = $NF }
      ! ($2 in k) { k[$2] = $1 ; h[++c] = $2 }
      ! ($3 in j) { j[$3] = 1 ; i[++m] = $3 }
      ! d["", $3] { d["", $3] = $3 }
      END {
            for (x = 0; x <= c; x++) {
                  z = h[x]
                  printf "%s%s%s%s", k[z], OFS, z, OFS
                  for (y = 1; y <= m; y++) {
                        w = i[y]
                        printf "%s%s", d[z, w], (y == m ? ORS : OFS)
                  }
            }
      }
    ' OFS="\t" file1 > file2

It works well if the datas are in descending order.
Any suggestion ?? Thanks for your code .

See if this code works for what you want:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
mPrevN="First_Time"
while read mName mEmp mDesc mValue
do
  if [[ "${mName}" != "${mPrevN}" ]]; then
    if [[ "${mPrevN}" = "First_Time" ]]; then
      echo 'Name EMP BASIC ALLOWC INCER REL'
    else
      echo ${mPrevN} ${mPrevE} ${mDBasic} ${mDAllowc} ${mDIncer} ${mDRel}
    fi
    mDBasic='--'
    mDAllowc='--'
    mDIncer='--'
    mDRel='--'
  fi
  case "${mDesc}" in
    "BASIC")  mDBasic=${mValue};;
    "ALLOWC") mDAllowc=${mValue};;
    "INCER")  mDIncer=${mValue};;
    "REL")    mDRel=${mValue};;
    *)  echo '??? Error: No description matched.'
        echo 'mDesc = <'${mDesc}'>';;
  esac
  mPrevN=${mName}
  mPrevE=${mEmp}
done < Input_File
if [[ "${mPrevN}" != "First_Time" ]]; then
  echo ${mPrevN} ${mPrevE} ${mDBasic} ${mDAllowc} ${mDIncer} ${mDRel}
fi

Code:
awk '{a[$1 FS $3]=$4; b[$3];c[$1]=$2} 
END {   printf "Name\tEMP\t";for (i in b) printf i OFS;printf RS; 
        for (i in c)  
           { printf i OFS c[i] 
             for (j in b) printf OFS (a[i FS j]?a[i FS j]:" --")
             printf RS}
     }' OFS="\t" infile

Name    EMP     ALLOWC  BASIC   INCER   INCR    REL

Rdcwayx, probably best to use emp# rather than name as your hash - just in case the data has two employees with the same name.

Code:
awk '{a[$2 FS $3]=$4; b[$3];c[$2]=$1} 
END {   printf "Name\tEMP\t";for (i in b) printf i OFS;printf RS; 
        for (i in c)  
           { printf c[i] OFS i 
             for (j in b) printf OFS (a[i FS j]?a[i FS j]:" --")
             printf RS}
     }' OFS="\t" infile

Yes, you are right, emp# should be always unique.
