To 1.
But probably wanted printf only for the formatted output and forgot to add a \n and the end of your outputline.
And because printf is used in the shell, you kept using it rather than print from awk.

To 2.:
Maybe something like:
Code:
for var in VAR1 varA varB varC
do
	./script-parse-csv.sh $var_$VAR2_$VAR3_$VAR4.csv
done

Hope this helps
