calling script from awk

Hi,

I'm not sure, there is solution exist for this problem. I'm facing problem in calling a unix script from awk code. Here is code

nawk -F'=' '
BEGIN { }
function runtest(string)
{
LINE
}
/^[.*\]/ { # getting module name
t=$1
module=substr(t,2,(length(t)-2))
runtest(module)
}
/INCLUDE/ {
}
/LEVEL/ {
}
/LOG_LEVEL/ {
}

END {}
' test-suite.cfg

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
Content in the test-suite.cfg
[module1]
INCLUDE=Y
LEVELS=BASIC,INTER,ADVANCE
LOG_LEVEL=10
REPROT=module1.log

...
..

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

In the "LINE", i'm trying to call unix script to start test-suite based on the input arguments such as "module, level, leg_level...".

I tried LINE with following but nothing worked
ATT 1. ./test-suite/module/basic/start.ksh
Error:
context is
>>> ./test-suite/module/basic/start <<< .ksh
nawk: illegal statment at source line 10 in function

Tried with escape for "." also didnt work
ATT 2. test-suite/module/basic/start
Error : nawk division by zero

Basicaly, i want to secute the script based on the input argument and get the test results also.

Kindly help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks and Regards,
Balaji

ucblinks

ucblinks(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands					      ucblinks(1B)

NAME

       ucblinks - adds /dev entries to give SunOS 4.x compatible names to SunOS 5.x devices

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/ucblinks [-e rulebase] [-r rootdir]

DESCRIPTION

       ucblinks  creates symbolic links under the /dev directory for devices whose SunOS 5.x names differ from their SunOS 4.x names. Where possi-
       ble, these symbolic links point to the device's SunOS 5.x name rather than to the actual /devices entry.

       ucblinks does not remove unneeded compatibility links; these must be removed by hand.

       ucblinks should be called each time the system is reconfiguration-booted, after any new SunOS 5.x links that are needed have been  created,
       since the reconfiguration may have resulted in more compatibility names being needed.

       In  releases prior to SunOS 5.4, ucblinks used a  nawk rule-base to construct the SunOS 4.x compatible names. ucblinks no longer uses  nawk
       for the default operation, although  nawk rule-bases can still be specifed with the -e option.  The  nawk rule-base equivalent to the SunOS
       5.4 default operation can be found in /usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk.

OPTIONS

       -e rulebase    Specify rulebase as the file containing nawk(1) pattern-action statements.

       -r rootdir     Specify rootdir as the directory under which dev and devices will be found, rather than the standard root directory /.

FILES

       /usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk    sample rule-base for compatibility links
