I have the following awk command
It gives a syntax error near "if" statement below.

Based on the value of s, if it greater or equal to 0, the record need to be replaced with '$1.$2.$3.$4," 0.0.0."s'

Any comments ?

awk -F"." '{s=$8-$4 if (s >= 0) print $1.$2.$3.$4," 0.0.0."s }' g1 >g2

if you want to cram them together into one line, use appropriate ";" to signify each individual awk statement.
