    I frequently use "print" and "print 1/zero" statements for debugging and for the first time in recent memory the print statements are apparently not executing.

    I have yet to figure out why this is not working now.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Steve


    You'll have to provide a MINIMAL, complete awk script that exhibits that behavior for us to be able to help you debug it.

    Thank you for the offer, Ed.

    It errored out with a divide by 0 error on line 31 and none of the preceding print statements were executed:

    I rewrote it and now it seems fine.

    That is not a **MINIMAL** script, nor is it even a complete script as
    it's just a standalone function. You should be able to reproduce this
    issue with a script that's less than 10 lines long and chances are by
    creating that minimal example you'll solve the problem yourself.
