It's been awhile since I dealt with Solaris' nawk, but it did have its quirks..
I'd start with: "$awkcmd" -F"#|#"
What do you think your field separator is?
A string #|# ? Maybe or maybe not. It might be a regex: # OR #.
I'd debug this first with the debug printf for each field.
Or try "#[|]#" to force it into a string.
Also: if ( $p=="|" || $p=="#|" || $p=="#" || $p=="|#" ) doesn't make too much sense given your definition of of the field separator.
Post sample input and the desired output.

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
