Could you please help.

Hello agent.kgb,

I am getting desired Output on AIX 7.1. It seems that the ksh93 version is old on AIX5.3

Also Could you please help in converting epoch timestamp from the below file. The 7th field is epoch timestamp :

Code:
78903 0 1 WEEKEND_FULL_ORACLE_BKP Full GYUI-12543 1446541202 0000006420 0000000000 186880
78401 0 1 WEEKLY_FULL_UNIX_BKP Full WEEKLY_TEST 1446508902 0000038818 0000000000 448755456
78306 0 1 WEEKLY_FULL_UNIX_BKP1 Full FTYU-32145 1446455973 0000091647 0000000000 390188288

I am able to convert the 7th field alone but when I am trying to place all the fields in the output report ( 1st to NF fields) then I am getting error. Below command worked

Code:
awk '{print "printf \"%T\n\" \\#"$7}' tmp1.txt | ksh93

Could you please help.

Thanks
Rahul M

Would this work (tested on bash only):
Code:
while read -a A; do printf "%s %s %s %s %s %s %(%F %T)T %s %s %s\n" ${A[0]} ${A[1]} ${A[2]} ${A[3]} ${A[4]} ${A[5]} ${A[6]} ${A[7]} ${A[8]} ${A[9]}; done < file
