    Problem Summary awk{35} : filename has "=", awk result is strange, so it fails.
    Problem Text I debugged awk{35} failure case after reviewing awk.ex source.
    If I test manually as below, I could see the problem exactly.

    1. create file as below;
    cat << "EOF" > file
    Beth 4.00 0
    Dan 3.75 0
    Kathy 4.00 10
    Mark 5.00 20
    EOF

    cat << "EOF" > awk.exp
    Mark 5.00 20
    EOF

    I. Normal case
    $ CT_STDOUT=out.stdout
    $ CT_STDERR=out.stderr
    $ cp file simplename
    $ awk '$2 > 4.00 {print $0}' simplename /dev/null > $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ cat $CT_STDOUT
    Mark 5.00 20 ==> result is same as awk.exp

    II. Fail case(file name has "=" syntax)
    $ CT_STDOUT=out.stdout
    $ CT_STDERR=out.stderr
    $ cp file 1x=y
    $ diff simplename 1x=y
    $ awk '$2 > 4.00 {print $0}' 1x=y /dev/null > $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ cat $CT_STDOUT ==> awk result is empty. so Fail

    $ cat 1x=y | awk '$2 > 4.00 {print $0}' > $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR
    $ cat $CT_STDOUT
    Mark 5.00 20

    By above testing, I can see that if filename has "=", awk run result is
    strange.

    Do you have any idea how I can resolve this problem?

    Review Recommendation Rejected (REJ)
    Review Response This awk implementation is not recognising assignment operands in the
    way specified by the standard. It has taken the operand 1x=y to be an
    assignment instead of a file pathname. The standard states:

    "An operand that begins with an underscore or alphabetic character from
    the portable character set (see the table in the Base Definitions volume
    of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 6.1, Portable Character Set), followed
    by a sequence of underscores, digits, and alphabetics from the portable
    character set, followed by the '=' character, shall specify a variable
    assignment rather than a pathname."

    Since 1x=y begins with a digit, not with an underscore or alphabetic
    character, it should not be treated as an assignment.

    Review Conclusion The SA agrees with the TSMA that there is not a deficiency in the test
    thus this PR is rejected as a TSD
