on my HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00 the following gives the percent allocated. 

df -k /var | grep allocation | awk '{print $1}'

[msn at hp1 ~]$ df -k /var | grep allocation | awk '{print $1}'
26

so
[msn at hp1 ~]$ df -k /var | grep allocation | awk '{print $1 "\n" $1 "\n - \n"}'
26
26
 -

so your target might be:
Target[var]: `df -k /var | grep allocation | '{print $1 "\n" $1 "\n - \n"}'`

NOTE! the character ` is different from '.
In your target down below you use ' instead of ` which is wrong.
