Is there a way to create a variable with the name of the variable contained in a second variable?

For example
-SET &VARNAME='DBASENAME';
-SET &'&VARNAME'='ThisName';

-? & would get the following
&VARNAME = DBASENAME
&DBASENAME = ThisName

The following works, but there is an issue with WF auto-prompting for the variable unless you first -DEFAULTH it up top:

-SET &ECHO = 'ALL';

-DEFAULTH &DBASENAME = '';

-SET &VARNAME = 'DBASENAME';
-SET &VARNAME2 = '&' | '&VARNAME.EVAL';
-SET &VARNAME2.EVAL = 'Tadaa!';
-TYPE &VARNAME &VARNAME2 &DBASENAME

Try this:

  
-SET &VAR=DB;
-SET &.&VAR=MICHAEL;
-TYPE &VAR
-TYPE &.&VAR

As . can be used to concatenate names to a single parameter:

-SET &IDX = 0;
-LOOP
-SET &IDX = &IDX + 1;
-SET &PARAM.&IDX = &IDX * 5;
-IF &IDX LT 5 THEN GOTO LOOP;

-TYPE &PARAM1
-TYPE &PARAM2
-TYPE &PARAM3
-TYPE &PARAM4
-TYPE &PARAM5

That worked thanks.
