Hello Again,
Found that shell scripts and awk programs work fine. It was just the
transfer process that added something to each end of line. Was using
WINSCP to transfer scripts and awk programs stored on a pc to Linux
box. This won't work. Used scp to transfer from old SCO server to
new Linux server, and found that shell scripts and awk programs work
just fine.
Thanks
