I have wrote a simple shell script

BEGIN {
jobid = "test jobid"
printf(jobid)
printf("-----------------------------------")
# system("echo jobid")
system( "echo `echo $jobid`")
print "first print"

system ("echo echo system echo")
# system("sh /tmp/test aa abc aa1.rptx")
print "second print"
}

I want to display the value of jobid in system command but it is not displaying the value..Please advise me what to do its urgent????

thanx in advance
