    Problem Summary PG4C.00032 Test fails because of syntax error in awk script.
    Problem Text
    The following block of code creates the an awk script for tp14()

    cat > fc_awk_14 << \EOF
    /---end14---/ { print_on = 1 }
    { if (print_on) print \$0 }
    /---start14---/ { print_on = 0 }
    EOF

    When the awk script is run it exits with the following error

    Syntax error at source line 2
    Context is { if (print_on) print >>> \ <<< $0 }

    The problem is that because of the back-slashed "\EOF", the shell
    considers this a quoted here-document and correctly does not
    expand the script. The \ is not needed.

    This can be corrected by either removing the back-slash before
    the first EOF or removing the back-slash before the $0

    This problem is also present in test purposes tp16() and tp17()
