Hello,

for awk questions, you might get faster and better answers in forum271
(awk versions for various flavours of Unix are quite similar; in general there will be no need to look for an HP-UX solution only.)

But anyways, what about changing these two lines:
if ( opt[1] == "symbolicName") {var1=opt[2] }
if ( opt[1] == "value") {var2=opt[2] ; print var1"="var2 }
