can you create a dynamic varrible

[jerrig1]

I would like to create a dynamic varible. Basicly:
I want to assign a varrible then have the value of that varrible be the lable of another varible

X = "test"
'(value of X) = 3
' (X) = 3
' test = 3
--------------------------------

I can do this in DCL
x="test"
'x'=3
----------------------


can this be done?
I have not been able to figure it out.

help?

Have a look at the Eval function and the Execute instruction.
