I have to split a file as well as keep the header in all the splitted files.
For this I am using the getline function of awk to keep the header however the catch is header is of 4 lines and I have to hold all the 4 lines by getline function(or is there any other option ???) into a variable .
Below is the code
Currently the getline function is only holding the first line of header file and I want it to hold all the 4 lines
$ echo |awk ' BEGIN {"date" | getline current_time;close("date");print "Report printed on " current_time}'

How do you make the getline function return to the original line?
The example below should make it clear where I am currently going wrong.
Thanks

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)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
