What's your OS? exilir's solution works fine for me on AIX using your example input.

Without making a suggestion to change the program (which I feel you should Smilie), try:
Code:
#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
   AlarmNbeg  = "alarmNew";
   AlarmClbeg = "alarmCleared";
   AlarmChbeg = "alarmChanged";
   AckStatbeg = "ackStateChanged";
     TotBlocks = 0;
}
!/^(<\?xml version="1\.0"\?>|<\/?notification>)$/{
   if((length($0) > 1)&&(NR > 2)) {

      if((substr($0, 2, length(AlarmNbeg)) ==  AlarmNbeg)|| (substr($0, 2, length(AlarmClbeg)) ==  AlarmClbeg) || (substr($0, 2, length(AlarmChbeg)) ==  Alar
mChbeg) || (substr($0, 2, length(AckStatbeg)) ==  AckStatbeg)) {
         printf "<?xml version="1.0"?>\n";
          printf $0;
          printf "\n";
      }

else {
       printf $0;
      printf "\n";
     }
   }
}
END {
}

And what does your awk script look like after incorporating the changes I suggested?
