hp ux - Limitation of HP awk -

a simple awk script works fine in linux , own hpux 11.31 platform, doesn't work in other hpux 11.31 system. can't access problematic hpux system not able test now.

@ input data

mystring    my.linuxsrc    running 16840 yourstring  your.linuxsrc  running 41794 

@ myawk.awk

/mystring / { printf "%s#%s#%s#%s",$1,$2,first,$3; printf "\n"; flag="yes"} 

@ error in other hpux system

syntax error source line 1 error context <<<       >>> awk: quitting source line 1. 

the version of awk in other hpux system:

other_hpux] /usr/bin/awk /usr/bin/awk:          main.c $date: 2009/02/17 15:25:17 $revision: r11.31/1 patch_11.31 (phco_36132)          run.c $date: 2009/02/17 15:25:20 $revision: r11.31/1 patch_11.31 (phco_36132)          $revision: @(#) awk r11.31_bl2010_0503_1 patch_11.31 phco_40052 

my hpux system:

my_hpux] /usr/bin/awk /usr/bin/awk:          main.c $date: 2008/05/19 14:40:42 $revision: r11.23/3 patch_11.23 (phco_38267)          lib.c $date: 2007/02/23 16:15:06 $revision: r11.23/2 patch_11.23 (phco_36053)          run.c $date: 2008/05/19 14:40:53 $revision: r11.23/1 patch_11.23 (phco_38267)          $revision: @(#) awk r11.23_bl2008_0602_1 patch_11.23 phco_38267  

can let me know why simple awk fails in other hpux system?

@ resolution

the awk script includes crlf on unix box, there problem use file. after removing cr, works fine.

could please try following, though don't have hp os me, wanted in same.

awk '/mystring / { printf("%s#%s#%s#%s",$1,$2,first,$3); print ors}'  input_file 

or

awk '/mystring / { printf("%s#%s#%s#%s\n",$1,$2,first,$3)}'  input_file 

ed morton correct only, there unused variable removed in above code, let me how goes then.
