-------------------------------------------------------------------
for var in 1 2
do

echo "var : $var"

count=0
while [ "$count" -lt 3 ]
do
echo "count : $count"

awk 'BEGIN { i = 0
f(i)
}
function f(para)
{
if ( para < 10 )
{
print "\n value of para : " para ;
para += 1 ;
f(para) ;
}
else
{
print "\n inside else, before increment, para : " para ;
para += 1 ;
print "\n inside else, para : " para ;
exit ;
}
}
'
let "count += 1"
done
done

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Please have a look and suggest any solution to the problem.
Thanks to all the unix bonds.
