Redirecting output in AWK

I am trying to use AWK to split one file into many formatted, smaller files.

The problem I am having is that I cannot output to more than 10 files.  I am
doing my output in a manner similar to:
	MY_FILE="foo";
	printf("abc\n") >> MY_FILE;
	close(MY_FILE);
Even though I am executing the close, I am still running out of files.  Does
anyone know of a fix to this ?

Thanks in advance,
