Unless you share the entire script (redacting sensitive parts if necessary), I am not going to invest any more of my time taking shots in the dark, attempting to answer questions which could be unintentionally misguided and for which no context has been provided.

It depends. I would need to put the task I described in my first post into a function as it is a recurrent task in the script.
So my question is: can you write a part of a function in the END section?

If yes, ok no problem to use the END section.
If no, I have to avoid the END section.

What on earth is "part of a function"? What would you expect it to do? Your question continues to make no sense.

Post your script or this thread will be closed.
