system () output into file in awk

hello,

I want to print my output into a file inside of awk, but I don't know it could wokr with using system (piping the $1-4 to another shellskript):

Code:
cat file.txt |awk '{ if ($5==2) {dataname=$1 "_" $2 "_" $3 "_" $4 "_typing.rad"
befehl=".gen_test " $7 " " $8 " " $8
system(befehl) > dataname}}'

Does anyone has an idea?


Thanks a lot,
Sandra

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 SEE ALSO
