Your main awk script must be in a file.
Code:
nawk -f  validate.awk -f main.awk file.CSV

validate.awk :
Code:
function validate(object)
{
        #populates an array List 
        if(object in stationList){
                return 0;}
        else{
                return 1;}
}

main.awk :
Code:
BEGIN { FS=","; counter=0}

{
        FS=",";
        gsub("\"","")
        valid=validate($1);
        if (valid == 1)
                print "INVALID";
        else
                print "VALID"
        
}

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

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

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
