blocking only path in ls command
I want to block the path while listing the files is it possible to do it , i tried with awk but it blocks everything (details such as owner n filesize)
Normal
========
Code:
/home/abc >ls -alr $ii_src_sqr/ftp_make.sqr                                    
-rwxrwxr-x    1 smt2uxb  smt2uxb       31223 May 26 15:04 /opt/smart/uat/eur/sources/sqr/ftp_make.sqr

Using AWK
===========
Code:
/home/abc >ls -alr $ii_src_sqr/ftp_make.sqr | awk -F/ '{print $NF}'            
ftp_make.sqr

How I can output as shown below (only paths blocked)
==================================
Code:
-rwxrwxr-x    1 smt2uxb  smt2uxb       31223 May 26 15:04 ftp_make.sqr

Piping your ls output through this should work:

Code:
awk '{n=split( $NF, a, "/" ); $NF=a[n]; print}'

The last field is split and n is assigned the number of fields. The last field is then assigned the last element of the array which is the basename, and then the record is printed.

blocking only path in ls command - with awk output bit scattered
just noticed
awk '{n=split( $NF, a, "/" ); $NF=a[n]; print}'
this gives output but which is bit scattered as shown below

-rwxrwxr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 27741 May 12 2010 ftp_make.sqr_repair
-rwxrwxr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 27264 May 12 2010 ftp_make.sqr_20080925
-rwxr-xr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 31064 May 16 16:55 ftp_make.sqr:3
-rwxrwxr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 28560 May 13 2010 ftp_make.sqr:2
-rwxrwxr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 28561 May 12 2010 ftp_make.sqr:1
-rwxrwxr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 31223 May 26 15:04 ftp_make.sqr
-rwxrwxr-x 1 smt2uxb smt2uxb 28560 May 12 2010 ftp_make.sat

can i make it tab separated and better readable ?

The easiest way would be to substitute a tab character for each space. If you have spaces in filenames use the second example:

Code:
awk '{n=split( $NF, a, "/" ); $NF=a[n]; gsub( " +", "\t", $0); print }'

Code:
awk '{
   n=split( $NF, a, "/" );     # basname the path
   NF -= 1;                    # chop the last field
   gsub( " +", "\t", $0);      # replace blanks with tabs
   printf( "%s\t%s\n", $0, a[n] );    # print tab spaced line adding basname
}' input-file

This "breaks" if any field is wider than your tab stop.
