Awk strangeness or misunderstandings?

I've been having some troubles with awk under Ultrix 3.0 and 3.1. I am
attempting to get a system call to function, but it just plain refuses
to work.
For example:
awk '{system("date")}' test.file
produces NO output. I've tried several flavors of calling it, and it
still fails. It also always returns a succeed result to an "if "
statement.
Any ideas?
