The data file you attached doesn't have "\r\n" line endings:
$ file rpcg_FF_filtrd.txt
rpcg_FF_filtrd.txt: ASCII text

compare with one that does:
$ file test.txt
test.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

I don't use RS and start my awk scripts off with
  sub("\r$", "", $0)  # fix any \r\n line endings
so my scripts work with either flavor of line endings.

If you don't want to change your script try changing your input
  unix2dos <your text files>
