X='FIRST' Y='SECOND' TEST= X'MAGIC'Y INTERPRET TEST"='FRED'" INTERPRET 'SAY TEST' -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gibney, Dave Sent: Friday, November 05, 2010 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Rexx question - Dynamic generation of variables? I don't subscribe to the Rexx list and am not sure I'd survive another list :) Is it possible to dynamically define Rexx variables? It doesn't work but I'd like something like: X='first' y='second' x|magic|y='fred' Say x|magic|yy And get 'fred' as the output. Really x is a dsname and y is the volser and I'd like a variable dsn|magic|volser.
