Logic:
Read the Input file line by line.

· Generate a key, whenever you find ENRLHDR in the line, increment the key value and use the same key for AUTHDXP till you get the next ENRLHDR.

· Write the respective lines in the output files ie..line containing ENRLHDR in one file along with the key and line containing AUTHDXP in one file along with the key.

· If an ENRLHDR is encountered without an AUTHDXP record, record the key value as “#”.

· As the output file is a fixed width file, do a Left padding on the key value in order to keep the length as 10. (E.g. 0000000001,0000000012)

With GNU awk:

awk '/ENRLHDR/{
				c++
				rec=$0
				getline	
					if($0~/AUTHDXP/)
						printf "%010d%s\n",c,rec>"ENRLHDR.txt"
					else 
						printf "##########%s\n",rec>"ENRLHDR.txt" 
			}
/AUTHDXP/{
			printf "%010d%s\n",c,$0>"AUTHDXP.txt"
		}END{
				if($0~/ENRLHDR/) 
					printf "##########%s\n",$0>"ENRLHDR.txt"
}' inputfile

With nawk:

nawk '/ENRLHDR/{
				c++
				rec=$0
				getline	
				last=$0
					if($0~/AUTHDXP/)
						printf "%010d%s\n",c,rec>"ENRLHDR.txt"
					else 
						printf "##########%s\n",rec>"ENRLHDR.txt" 
			}
/AUTHDXP/{
			printf "%010d%s\n",c,$0>"AUTHDXP.txt"
		}END{
				if(last~/ENRLHDR/) 
					printf "##########%s\n",last>"ENRLHDR.txt"
}' inputfile

Use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.

Another solution :

$ cat unix_87.sh
awk '
/^ENRLHDR/ {
   enrlhdr[++count] = sprintf("##########%s", $0);
   authdxp = 0;
}
/^AUTHDXP/ {
   if (! authdxp) {
      sub(/^##########/, sprintf("%0.10d", ++key), enrlhdr[count]);
      authdxp = 1 ;
   }
   printf("%0.10d%s\n", key, $0) > "AUTHDXP.txt";
}
END {
   for (i=1; i<=count; i++)
      print enrlhdr[i] > "ENRLHDR.txt";
}
