The below command is not working properly.

 

x " tac &archivefile. | awk '!NF {print ""};NF {if (n) {print} else {n=1}}' | tac >  &rawfile. ";

 

Ideally it should create a &rawfile with some lines,ignoring last non empty line from archive file.

 

But it is creating just an empty &rawfile.

 

There is no problem with the linux command,it is worling fine in linux .

The comand is shown below after resolving the macro variables.

 

$ tac APPDIRECT_PROD_2018011107.dat | awk '!NF {print ""};NF {if (n) {print} else {n=1}}' | tac > /vfau/vfau_sit/sit05/datain/AppDirect/Landing/APPDIRECT_PROD_2018011107.dat

 

What exactly the problem with my x command ?
