It's a bash variable, not an awk one -- they're separate languages.

You'd want to actually put it into awk for it to be able to print it.

Code:
OLDIFS="$IFS" # Save value of special variable
IFS="|"

awk -v AS="${LOADSTATUS[*]}" 'BEGIN { MAX=split(AS,LOADSTATUS,"|");
for (x = 1; x <= MAX; x++)
        print LOADSTATUS[x]
 }' /dev/null

IFS="$OLDIFS"

The IFS variable controls, among other things, what string it will put between array members when you do ${ARRAY[*]}. Here we tell it to use | so awk can split it back apart into an array.

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
