Looks like it might be an awk version issue. Are you by chance running on Solaris? If so, change awk to nawk and see what happens. You might also need to change the delete value statement if you end up using nawk.

If you're not running Solaris, what is the output of this command:
Code:
awk --version

im working on solaries 10
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh



nawk -v target="${1:-515}" '
    BEGIN {
        value["DataField"] = "Not Found";
    }

    /Variable #/  { snarf = 1; next; }

    snarf > 0 && $1 == "End " {
        snarf = 0;

        if( value["DataId "] == target )
            printf( "%s\n", value["DataField"] );

        delete value
        value["DataField"] = "Not Found";
        next;
    }

    snarf > 0 && $(2) == ":" {
        value[$1] = $3;
    }
'
exit $?

Code:
bash-3.00# bash -x List.ksh 300 <list
+ nawk -v target=300 '
    BEGIN {
        value["DataField"] = "Not Found";
    }

    /Variable #/  { snarf = 1; next; }

    snarf > 0 && $1 == "End" {
        snarf = 0;

        if( value["DataId "] == target )
            printf( "%s\n", value["DataField"] );

        delete value
        value["DataField"] = "Not Found";
        next;
    }

    snarf > 0 && $(2) == ":" {
        value[$1] = $3;
    }
'
nawk: you can only delete array[element] at source line 15
 context is
                delete value >>>
 <<<         value["DataField"] = "Not Found";
nawk: syntax error at source line 15
nawk: illegal statement at source line 15
+ exit 2
bash-3.00#

Use this in place of the delete statement:

Code:
split( "", value, "." );

Code:
bash-3.00# bash -x List.ksh 300 <list
+ nawk -v target=300 '
    BEGIN {

    /Variable #/  { snarf = 1; next; }

    snarf > 0 && $1 == "End" {
        snarf = 0;

        if( value["DataId"] == target )
            printf( "%s\n", value["DataField"] );

        split( "", value, "." );
        value["DataField"] = "Not Found";
        next;
    }

    snarf > 0 && $(2) == ":" {
