Once again, as indicated previously, use /usr/bin/nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Sun/Solaris.

Also your file1 might have leading/trailing space on each line - make sure that you don't.
You could also try:
Code:
nawk 'NR==FNR {a[$1]=$1;next} $6 in a' file1 FS=, OFS=, file2

copy/paste (using code tags) the following output:
Code:
head -10 file1 | cat -vet

Do the same for file2.

cat -vet is not found Smilie

Code:
nsn@linux-nsn:~/flipflop> head -10 scc.txt | cat-vet
bash: cat-vet: command not found

root@intestn2> head -10 scc.txt | cat-vet
cat-vet: not found

cat -vet - not cat-vet
And, please code tags as previously requested!
