Shell Programming and Scripting

I have wrote a simple shell script

BEGIN {
jobid = "test jobid"
printf(jobid)
printf("-----------------------------------")
# system("echo jobid")
system( "echo `echo $jobid`")
print "first print"

system ("echo echo system echo")
# system("sh /tmp/test aa abc aa1.rptx")
print "second print"
}

I want to display the value of jobid in system command but it is not displaying the value..Please advise me what to do its urgent????

hint: threads with the subject "Urgent help" tend to get ignored. The urgency is only too you, you should not expect anyone here to provide you with urgent support. This also makes no sense:

Display what? Where? the system() command runs an external application, it does not return anything back to the calling program except the exit status of the application.
