gawk $1=$1" OFS=, FIELDWIDTHS="10 2 6 1" can split fixedwidth text file to csv format But goawk cannot，it just recognize space character for field seprator

Sorry, FIELDWIDTHS is a Gawk-specific feature that I have no plans to implement in GoAWK. For POSIX AWK, you can use substr manually to split such fields.
