Show your script inside code tags so we don't have to guess, please.

Hi below is the code :

INFILE="/home2/prax/prac30/c2t/input.txt"
OUTFILE="/home2/prax/prac30/c2t/cage_output.txt"
while read line
do
STCODE=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $1 }' `
ZIP=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $2 }' | `
CMKTNM=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $3 }' `
CMKTCD=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $4 }'`
CSCTNM=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $5 }' `
CSCTCD=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $6 }' `
TLGMKTNM=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $7 }'`
TLGMKTCD=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $8 }'`
TLGSMKTNM=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $9 }'`
TLGSMKTCD=`echo $line | awk -F , '{print $10 }'`
if [ -z $CMKTNM ]
then

Is there any use of all those variables you fill with values? If not maybe just post a snippet of your input file and an example of the desired output. At first glance there is a lot which might be easily simplified.
Use code tags like I implemented them in your former post. Check your old post in edit-mode so you see what I mean.
