This might get you going:


Code:
awk -F '~' '
    NF < 12 {
            if( !buffer )
                buffer=$0;
            else
            {
                printf( "%s%s\n", buffer, $0 );
                buffer = "";
            }
            next;
     }
    { print; }
'

I do note that your example broken records have more than 12 fields.
