You manually feed the name of the script in it, this is not a self-printing way

@cipper: Well, that's the easiest and portable way I can imagine.

It's like calling awk -vNAME="myscript.awk" ./myscript.awk and then print the variable NAME inside the script. Not a solution.

@cipper: That's the only way, if you mention mawk. And also using ENVIRON isn't the same as using -vNAME="myscript.awk", since when mawk will expand escape sequence in NAME.
