Not in this case, no. The format of awk is
awk 'program' files
awk -f prgm files
What I could do instead is
u=/tmp/$0$pid$apid$0
cat > $u <<\END
program
END
awk -f $u $*
rm $u
but I'd rather not go that way to avoid possible collisions.
Here's another problem. The error check function cats to [1=2].
However, instead of going to standard output, it makes a file [1=2]
and writes the message there. How do I fix this?

sam and wc convince me you have a 8555 byte string you pass to
awk. You
should probably put the awk stuff into a separate file eg.awk and
just do
`awk -f eg.awk $*' in eg (cf. chem(1) ). You might have to fiddle
with where
you put things, but that seems to be the easiest way out.
