Reborg,

It's not writing the data to the CARE01_DLY_20060725 file but it created one file with name CARE01_DLY_AUS_20060725_new with one line of data.

Please see output from below:

3
7
3 11 7
awk: A print or getline function must have a file name.
The input line number is 5. The file is CARE01_DLY_MKT_20060725.
The source line number is 24

I've updated the code in Post #14...got rid of the debug, and added the quotes I'd forgotten around the filename.

Reborg,

You are simply great man!!!! Smilie

I just changed the code so that I am not hard coding the name of the final file. Please let me know if this works. I am just including the changed portion here from post#14

Quote:
print data[i] > "${1}_$(date +%Y%m%d)"
Will this work?

I want to just let you know that I call the script like this satya.ksh CARE01_DLY

I just want to let you know that I have become your fan. Smilie

Reborg,

It created the file with name ${1}_${date+%Y%m%d). I should have kept single quotes i guess. Kindly suggest.

Reborg,

It created the file CARE01_DLY_ The date portion is missing though. Are we missing any where?

Reborg,

It's working!!!!! I have changed that to what Vgresh has suggested in earlier posts. It's working now.

changed portion here:

Quote:
awk -v complete_file=${1}_$(date+%Y%m%d) 'FNR != 1 {
to

Quote:
awk -v complete_file=${1}_`date '+%Y%m%d'` 'FNR != 1 {
Once again I am learning a lot from this wonderful site!!!!
