Question Insert query with shell variable with AWK

Hi,
I'm a first timer with Unix so pardon my ignorance.
I'm trying to read a comma separated file from the same folder where the script is and insert the value in a DB2 table.
I'm using AWK for the same. I'm getting `)' not expected error.
I'm not sure but for me it doesn't look like detailed error message. Smilie

The input file looks like this:

Code:
value1,value2,value3

The script is like this

Code:
awk '{
        nbr=split($2,arr,",");
        for(ix=1;ix<=nbr;ix++) 
        product_code=`echo 'print arr[ix]'` 
        db2 "INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (PRODUCT_CODE) values (\'${product_code}\') 
where NOT EXISTS 
(select * from PRICING_PRODUCT_CODES where PRODUCT_CODE = \'${product_code}\');"
    }' CODES.txt

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
