Hi,
i have file RESULT(containing table contents) with columns containing process number,ccod,etc
ccod is in 5th column
based on it validation has to be done i.e
if ccod =0(or)2(or)4A - success status else
if ccod = other than 0,2,4A - failure
success has to be passed to another TEMP file
loop continues to read another one

how should the korn scripts be?
can anyone help
thank u
Anu

Something like...

#!/bin/ksh

for ccod in `cat RESULT | awk '{ print $5 }'`
do
if [ $ccod = "0" || $ccod = "2" || $ccod = "4A" ]
then
echo "success" >> NEWFILE
else
echo "failure" >> NEWFILE
fi
done

Thank u so much

Just tried this again, and I screwed up...

Should have said...

then
echo "success" >> NEWFILE
else
echo "failure" >> NEWFILE
fi
done
