Re: Awk script running in QShell

Below is the contents of the file I am trying to process.
The Field separator is an asterisk....

Do I have to convert the incoming file from ASCII to EBIDIC or is there some what to force it to use ASCII encoding within the Qshell processing?

Thank you for this. I did some testing in PASE (call qp2term). I don't
know what vintage my AWK is. I had to do 2 things to this to get it to
run, and I don't really understand why.

1) In the AWK script, change the line endings to LF instead of CRLF
2) In the incoming file, remove the line endings entirely

call qp2term
$
awk -f awktest.awk awktest.txt awkout.txt

You may be able to use TR to fix up the line endings, and thus automate
the process without having to worry about the far side changing things.

tr < awktest.txt > awknoeol.txt -d '\r\n'
