Well, you have a 2A instead of the 2B ...

Howsoever, try
Code:
awk -F',' '
FNR>1   {TMP=substr($1,1,5) "_" substr($3,19,20)
         print $1,$2,TMP $4 ($5?OFS TMP $5:"")}
' OFS="," file
RXOCF-101,BTS INTERNAL,RXOCF_2A53,RXOCF_2A58
RXOCF-101,BTS INTERNAL,RXOCF_2B24
RXOCF-101,BTS INTERNAL,RXOCF_2A33
RXOCF-101,BTS INTERNAL,RXOCF_2D57
RXOCF-102,OPERATOR CONDITION,RXOCF_2B

What's your OS and awk version?

---------- Post updated at 23:50 ---------- Previous update was at 23:48 ----------

Independent of OS and awk, if you concatenate lines, don't forget a ; as the command separator. Why didn't you test the script as given?

I'm using Solaris 5.10.
Where to put ; ?
I don't see ; in your script

If you are using a Solaris/SunOS system, use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk instead of awk .
