literal\constant string-expression rather than only a variable; a
capability that apparently had always been limited to PL/1. I can not
verify, so if anyone wants to humor the group...

IBM i 7.2 TR3, using ACS SQL script tool:

begin
execute immediate
'create table buck.chuck (column_name char(1))';
end;

Runs and creates the table.
