I doubt very much that this worked on anything. This awk program clearly
has an obvious syntax error. On RH7.0:

keiths ~ >awk -f a.awk
awk: a.awk:10: if  (( $2  ~  /Label/ )  &&  ( $3  ~  /Not found/ )) {
awk: a.awk:10: ^ parse error
awk: a.awk:13: if  (( $2  ~  /Form/  ) && ( $3 ~  /Not found/ )) {
awk: a.awk:13: ^ parse error
awk: a.awk:16: if  ((  $2  ~  /Report/ ) && ( $3 ~  /Not found/  )){
awk: a.awk:16: ^ parse error

I also get similar errors on Solaris using its standard awk:

keiths ~ >/usr/bin/awk -f a.awk
awk: syntax error near line 10
awk: bailing out near line 10

The structure of an awk program looks like ("..." = statements):

[BEGIN] { ... }
{ ... }
[END] { ... }

Not like what you have:

{ ... }
...
END { ... }

Add braces ("{","}") at the appropriate places and it will work just fine.

Add "{" here.

Add "}" here.
