Cool Pass Shell variables and return the response back to shell
this way I can pass SHELL Variables $prevRelease and $curRelease and also return the result back to SHELL

Code:
prevRelease=r1v07l09ab
currRelease=r1v07l09ac
VALID=`echo "$prevRelease $currRelease" | awk '{ if($1 < $2) print "1"; else print "0" }'`
Thanks ghostdog74 and porter for your responses
