General :: Awk Does Not Print The Value Of The Variable As Expected

I have this simple awk program but it not prints var_cab whe^E or ^S or ^M after he finds the second ^C

/^C/ { var_cab = substr($0,1,28); ent = 0 ; print "estoy en cabecera" var_cab;}
/^E/ { if ( ent ==0 ) var_fech = substr($0,4,8) ; ent ++;
print var_cab var_fech $0; }
/^S/ { print var_cab var_fech $0; }
/^M/ { print var_cab var_fech $0; }
END { print var_cab,ent}

the input file is many lines like this, every new block stats with ^CAB
