How to use a command from awk in the right way

I have the next command :

 awk -v M="$variable" -v B=$"version"-v R="Pass ok" -v K="1" 'BEGIN {FS=","; OFS=","} $1==M {$14=R} {$3=B} {$23=K} {print}' file1.csv > file2.csv

and i dont know why i get an output different than i wish, the parameter (R="Pass ok") the prints in several's lines of the file like the parameter (K="1"), please help me with this.

Notes : I have this command in a script that i run of this way : ./myscript.sh variable

Because you wrote everything on a single line and you lost track of what pattern applies to what action. Try this instead:

awk -v M="$variable" -v B="$version"-v R="Pass ok" -v K=1 '
        BEGIN { FS=","; OFS="," }
        $1 == M { $14 = R; $3 = B; $23 = K; print }
        $1 != M
    ' file1.csv > file2.csv
