The fix on this particular machine was to use gawk instead of awk.

According to some of the suggestions I received, awk is a symlink to 
gawk anyway.  So, this should work fine.  I wonder why I was getting 
the error since nothing should have changed?

Also, contrary to what some believed I wasn't running awk from a DOS 
prompt.  I was running a bash shell script that was using the command.  
It worked on my machine but didn't work on another.

Thanks for all your help,

Robert
