its not working and also i dont want to mention the DE CODE, directly i the command.
it should take it from the variable
eg : $1 ,$3 are the header
and $2 and $4 are the data.

i tried like this, but not working
Code:
awk -F"|" '{printf("$1 = %s\n $3 = %s\n $5 = %s\n",$2,$4,substr($NF,length($NF)-1,length($NF)))}' spool.log

Try this one:
Code:
awk '{gsub("\|"," = ")
      gsub("}","\n")
      gsub(/[0-9{]/,"")
     }
     1
    ' inputfile
DE_CODE = AXXANY
APP_NAME = TELCO
LOC = NY
DE_CODE = AXXATX
APP_NAME = TELCO
LOC = TX
DE_CODE = AXXABT
APP_NAME = TELCO
LOC = BT
DE_CODE = AXXANJ
APP_NAME = TELCO
LOC = NJ
