Passing argument to awk script

I am writing a shell script.
Now i need to read in a string and send it to an awk file to compare and search for compatible record.

I wrote it like tat:

read serial | awk -f generate.awk data.dat

p/s: the data file got 6 field.

According to an expert, we can write it like tat:

read serial
awk -f generate.awk data.dat serial2=$serial

and access the variable by using serial2 in the script.

I tried it but it seems like dun work.

Pls help..thx
