Shell Programming and Scripting

If you're using a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, /usr/xpg6/bin/awk, or nawk. If not; what operating system are you using?

Are there any <carriage-return> characters in your script? (There shouldn't be.)

I forgot telling u the Unix vesrion SunOS proauto01 5.10 Generic_148888-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000

I heard the version of awk in a SunOS is differente ? if so how to replace the command ?

Thanks a lot

You failed to mention the system and tool versions you use.

Quoting Don Cragun:

I thought I already said that in post #8 in this thread. Oh, well...

Good morning, instead using i am using nawk but the outptut yields:

Code:

insert_job      command machine
nawk: empty regular expression
 input record number 1
 source line number 5

but if i run testing this way; yield the same error but it continues the loop cycle

Code:

 read i
+ autorep -J ds_extra_nikira_usuarios -q

Thans for your help in advanced

Code:

insert_job      command machine
nawk: empty regular expression
 input record number 1
 source line number 5
autosys@proauto01 :PRO >+ read i
+ autorep -J ds_extra_ordenesserv -q
+ read i
+ autorep -J ds_extra_recargajuste -q
+ read i
+ autorep -J ds_extra_score_dinamico -q
+ read i
+ autorep -J ds_ftp_ciclo_migr_05 -q
+ read i
+ autorep -J ds_ftp_ciclo_migr_09 -q
+ read i

Is it possible your sample did not represent the real data? Try adding /^$/ {next} before the HD ~ $1.
Should that not work, try modifying / commenting out script lines around line 5.

Thanks for your support, but ive got some questions:

1st /^$/ {next} before the HD ~ $1
would it be this way:?
/^$/ {next} HD ~ $1
what are we tryng to do with this line?

2nd try modifying / commenting out script lines around line 5
would it be commenting out lines 4 and 6?
what are we trying to do ? debug every line to trap the error ?

3rd dont konw about awk arrays and before i get documented and have a deeper knowledge, could u please explain to me a little bit about code lines ?
with your explanation i would have a better perspective to debug error i think

Thanks for your support again
