IIRC from my gawk days, you dont need the if when defining a rule in
gawk, just the rule itself:

(( $2  ~  /Label/ )  &&  ( $3  ~  /Not found/ )) 
{
        label=label+1
} 

you can still use ifs but they are normally placed in the body of the
rule. if standard awk works diferently, you can always set gawk to
behave like awk doing --compat, i think - but the man page is your
friend. a good place to look for differences is also the info manual,
its very complete.

hope it helps.
