The data file you attached doesn't have "\r\n" line endings:
$ file rpcg_FF_filtrd.txt
rpcg_FF_filtrd.txt: ASCII text
compare with one that does:
$ file test.txt
test.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

I don't use RS and start my awk scripts off with
sub("\r$", "", $0) # fix any \r\n line endings
so my scripts work with either flavor of line endings.
If you don't want to change your script try changing your input
unix2dos <your text files>
