As always.... if on Solaris, use /usr/bin/nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk

Can you copy & paste here as it is

Code:
 
head -10 import_data.csv
 
and your awk statement!
 
Also your OS version using uname -a

the above statement doesn't really help.....
make sure you execute exactly what was given to you - no spaces surrounding the '=':
Code:
awk -F, -v v1="RC"  '{ a[$1]++ } END { for (b in a) { print b } }' import_data.csv

yet again Smilie

---------- Post updated at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous update was at 09:43 PM ----------

it works like this:
Code:
nawk -F, -v v1="RC" '{ a[$7]++ } END { for (b in a) { print b } }' import_data.csv

but, yet to experiment a lot in that Smilie thanks all.
