Satish,

   It depends on the system you are on. The old original awk does not allow parameters to be passed to it, but the newest can take

   -v parameter_name=value
On many systems, the new awk is called 'nawk', but not everywhere.

   Try 'man awk/man nawk' on your system and check which one takes the -v flag.
