I'm getting the following error:
awk: input line script_name contains more than 3,000 characters.
source line is 1
It only happens intermittently, however the file is processed correctly. When I run another awk script against the input file, it tells me the longest line is 174 chars. As it's running under HPUX 11, I've spoken with some HP S/A's who think it may be a problem with a temp file created by awk.
I've told the people I work for not to worry about it as the script works, but they don't like error messages. That's users for you.
