I assume you have defined NewPlace as a shell variable. If so, you can import it into the awk in one of two ways:

Code:
awk ' BEGIN { c=10000; } 
   /test.rec$/ { printf( "%s\\%d.rec\n", newpath, c++ ); next; }  
   { print; } '  newpath="$NewPath" input-file >output-file



Code:
awk -v newpath="$NewPath"  ' BEGIN { c=10000; } 
   /test.rec$/ { printf( "%s\\%d.rec\n", newpath, c++ ); next; }  
   { print; } '  input-file >output-file



In both cases the awk variable newpath is assigned at the start of the script with the value of the shell variable. Some versions (older) of awk don't support the -v option, so I've given you both formats.

LINK(2) 						     Linux Programmer's Manual							   LINK(2)

NAME

       link - make a new name for a file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       int link(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);

DESCRIPTION

       link creates a new link (also known as a hard link) to an existing file.

       If newpath exists it will not be overwritten.

       This new name may be used exactly as the old one for any operation; both names refer to the same file (and so have the same permissions and
       ownership) and it is impossible to tell which name was the `original'.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       EXDEV  oldpath and newpath are not on the same filesystem.

       EPERM  The filesystem containing oldpath and newpath does not support the creation of hard links.

       EFAULT oldpath or newpath points outside your accessible address space.

       EACCES Write access to the directory containing newpath is not allowed for the process's effective uid, or one of the directories  in  old-
	      path or newpath did not allow search (execute) permission.

       ENAMETOOLONG
	      oldpath or newpath was too long.

       ENOENT A directory component in oldpath or newpath does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link.

       ENOTDIR
	      A component used as a directory in oldpath or newpath is not, in fact, a directory.

       ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.

       EROFS  The file is on a read-only filesystem.

       EEXIST newpath already exists.

       EMLINK The file referred to by oldpath already has the maximum number of links to it.

       ELOOP  Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving oldpath or newpath.

       ENOSPC The device containing the file has no room for the new directory entry.

       EPERM  oldpath is a directory.

       EIO    An I/O error occurred.

NOTES

       Hard links, as created by link, cannot span filesystems. Use symlink if this is required.

CONFORMING TO

       SVr4,  SVID,  POSIX,  BSD  4.3, X/OPEN.	SVr4 documents additional ENOLINK and EMULTIHOP error conditions; POSIX.1 does not document ELOOP.
       X/OPEN does not document EFAULT, ENOMEM or EIO.

BUGS

       On NFS file systems, the return code may be wrong in case the NFS server performs the link creation and dies before it  can  say  so.   Use
       stat(2) to find out if the link got created.
