RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Performance issues using GAWK 3.1.6 ->from Win 2008 to Win 2016

[Koleti, Haritha]

Thank you for the reply.

GAWK 5.1.0 is for windows ?  Where can we download this from.   Existing GAWK 
3.1.6 is in place since many years almost 10 years prior.  We do not have the 
information on how and from where is it downloaded.

Can you please let us know if GAWK3.1.6 is compatible with Windows 2016, if not 
from where can we download the latest version for windows 2016  . One more 
thing we are NOT using LINUX

Thanks
Haritha

Are you using the same Gawk binary on both systems, or is the Gawk binary on 
Windows Server 2016 also new?  And where did you get the Gawk binary? did you 
build it yourself, or downloaded from somewhere, and if the latter, from which 
site?

Anyway, Gawk 3.1.6 is very old.  The latest version is v5.1.0.  Would it be 
possible for you to upgrade to the latest version of Gawk?

If all of the above doesn't help, then at least knowing something about the 
Gawk script you are using would be needed to say something useful about the 
problem.
