I am trying to export a varable from awk and is not taken an effect when I
do "env" once I exit from the awk program.
system(export ISODATE=`date --iso-8601`) or I think I also try "export
ISODATE=`date --iso-8601` | getline isodate "
how do I set ENV varable in awk ...
A program cannot change its parent's environment.
A workaround is to write shell command(s) to a temp file then source it.
In bash,
help source
