cat $MYHOME/hcncprod_job_totals |wc -l

awk: 0602-533 Cannot find or open file no_file.
The source line number is 1.

Code:
cat $MYHOME/hcscprod_job_totals |wc -l > no_file
cat $MYHOME/hcncprod_job_totals |wc -l >> no_file
cat $MYHOME/ktazp_job_totals |wc -l >> no_file
cat $MYHOME/ktazd_job_totals |wc -l >> no_file

The command cat is useless, wc accept filename(s) as argument :
Code:
wc -l $MYHOME/hcscprod_job_totals

You can avoid the usage of a temporary file, for example :
Code:
wc -l $MYHOME/hcscprod_job_\
        $MYHOME/totals hcncprod_job_totals \
        $MYHOME/ktazp_job_totals \ 
        $MYHOME/ktazd_job_totals \
        $MYHOME/ktazi_job_totals |
awk ' { x = x + int($0) } END { print "Total count is " x }'
