Awk problem

Hi. I'm really not good in awk syntax or scripting by awk and therefore requesting some assistance.

Code:

cat $TEMPFILE | grep -v ^$ | awk '{print $2, $3, $4, $8}' | while read appname apphandle eitthvad pid
do
        cat $OUTFILE | awk -F ";" '$1 == '$pid' {print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, '$apphandle $appname'};'
done

Awk complains about the "'$apphandle $appname'" part. I can include one variable in the output statement by using ' around the variable name, but when there are two or more things break down. Any thougts?
