Calling all unix gurus to solve the above problem.
I gave the above solution to Kingkong which is working fine on my system, I am using HP-UX . But the same solution is not working on Kingkong's machine. You can see the output with set -x enabled in the earlier post.
Can someone please explain why it is happening.

Regards,
Gaurav

   t = ($2 > $3 ) ? $2 : $3
   if ( t > max ) {
      max=t
      line=$0
   }
}
END {
