AWK command help

AIX 5.1

I am running the following command after variables are read:

awk '{if($1~/^ "$code"/) print $0 }' LCADPIN"$file".2006"$mo""$day"* >
$ADPIN/ADPIN

When I add the actual code WZN in place of "$code", this command works
fine. The code is at the begining ( ^) of the LCADPIN record. I have
tried using single quotes around "$code" and have tried placing a space
aftere (^}.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like you're calling awk from shell, so read question 24 in the
comp.unix.shell FAQ (http://home.comcast.net/~j.p.h/cus-faq-2.html#24).
