Again, with no testing, just displaying the content of the lines, try this:
BEGIN { num=” “ ; nam1=” “; nam2=” “ }{  num = $1 ; nam1 = $2 ;  getline < “file_z2″ ; nam2 = $2 ;  print num, “,  “, nam1,”,  “,nam2}END {}
If you need to check that the two read lines actually contain the same emp-num, it of course gets trickier….
Good Luck.
