Code:
 
nawk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5; system("date +%s -d $6,$7")}' filename

its not recognizing the comma parameter that is been specified in the command
Code:
awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5; system("date +%s -d $6,$7")}'

here is the output
Code:
0 ebs-sql1-b xxxxxxxxxxxxx Memphis_Prod_SQL_Diff Memphis-Prod-SQL-Inc-Application-Backup
date: invalid date `,'
