Passing awk variable argument to a script which is being called inside awk
consider the script below

Code:
sh /opt/hqe/hqapi1-client-5.0.0/bin/hqapi.sh  alert list --host=localhost --port=7443 --user=hqadmin --password=hqadmin --secure=true >/tmp/alerts.xml
 
awk -F'[=|"|<|>|,]' '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){
 if($i=="Alert id") {
  if(id!="")
        if(dt!=""){
cmd="sh someScript.sh "printf "%s",alDFid;"
cmd | getline prio
print "priority=" prio
close(cmd)
 printf "ID=%d\nNAME=%s\nFIXED=%s\nDATE=%s\nAlDefID=%d\n\n", id,nm,fx,dt,alDFid; }
  id=($i=="Alert id")?$(i+2):id; }
  nm=($i==" name")?$(i+2):nm;
  fx=($i==" fixed")?$(i+2):fx;
  dt=($i~/^ [0-9]+-/)?$i" "$(i+1):dt;
  alDFid=($i==" alertDefinitionId")?$(i+2):alDFid;
 }
}END{
 if(dt!=""){
 printf "ID=%d\nNAME=%s\nFIXED=%s\nDATE=%s\nAlDefID=%d\n\n", id,nm,fx,dt,alDFid;
}
}' /tmp/alerts.xml


here the script that i am calling is someScript.sh and to that i want to pass the contents of alDFid , i itred giving it in quotes , $ but none of it worked. even tried printf "%s",alDFid even this is not working.


Does anyone know how to pass argument to script from Awk with awk variable??



ALSO
why does
Code:
awk -F'priority=' '{print $2}' | cut -d'"' -f2

inside cmd="" wont work.. it wont consider awk inside this command. it keeps throwing error as

Code:
| grep priority | awk -Fpriority= {print
awk: cmd. line:6:     ^ unterminated string
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 26: cmd: command not found
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 26: getline: command not found
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 27: print: command not found
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `cmd'
./alertCheck_vivek.sh_date: line 28: `close(cmd)'

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk
