?? I tried on an AIX I am on at the moment:
Code:
n12:/sm/wks/titi $ awk 'FNR==NR{T[$1]=$0; gsub($1", *|, *$","",T[$1]); next} {print $0 " - " T[$1]}' FS=, ldap_jcon.txt FS=" " over90.txt

UNIQUENAME 2013-12-06 11:23:48.1 - HQ_USER
UNIQUENAME2 2014-03-10 12:22:29.91 - DIST_AO
UNIQUENAME3 2013-04-02 10:41:22.1 - DIST_AO

And so I suspect you are not using the sample files you have given us in the first post!
What do you expect?
