Worked like a charm!

Gets me what I need in FILE2 with the second field set as "5AB0"
I was missing that }1 piece, which quite frankly I don't understand at
all.
What is that {1 doing?
It is not {1, but simply 1, which, as an always true condition
triggers, the default action, i.e. prints the record.
A slightly different way of expressing the same logic would be:
gawk 'gsub($2, "\"5AB0\"")+1' $FILE1 > $FILE2
