INTERPRET TEST"='FRED'" INTERPRET 'SAY TEST'
At the risk of starting another flame war, I would strongly discourage use of INTERPRET. While it may work correctly in some instances, it leads to problems in general, and is easily replaced by "value()".
I first ran across this problem while working at an ISV, and had to maintain code designed to manipulate JCL. The author used an INTERPRET that self-destructed the first time it encountered a JCL comment.
