SQL Variable Declare Statement

[THarteau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
      I need to read a file in the sequence specified by the user.   I have
used the execute immediate to use variables on an update, but can I do the
same kind of thing on a declare statement?  I have set up fields that will
hold the field names. For example:

0275.00 C                   IF        InSrt1 = 'P'
0276.00 C                   EVAL      L1Fld = 'JDPSYS'
0278.00 C                   ENDIF
0279.00 C                   IF        InSrt1 = 'B'
0280.00 C                   EVAL      L1Fld = 'JDBPRT'
0282.00 C                   ENDIF
0296.00 C                   IF        InSrt2 = 'P'
0297.00 C                   EVAL      L2Fld = 'JDPSYS'
0299.00 C                   ENDIF
0300.00 C                   IF        InSrt2 = 'B'
0301.00 C                   EVAL      L2Fld = 'JDBPRT'
0303.00 C                   ENDIF

Then I create the select and order by:

0117.04 C                   EVAL      SelSmt =
0117.05 C                             'SELECT * FROM JTD WHERE JDJBT#
= :JOBNO'
0117.07 C                   EVAL      SqlSmt =
0117.08 C                             SelSmt + 'ORDER BY ' + L1Fld + ',' +
L2Fld
0117.09 C                              + ',' + 'JDPROD'

I'm not sure how to now set up the declare. Any ideas?
