But what is probably one of the most non-standard SQL also documents
that "A host variable must not be: ... used in data definition (DDL)
statements such as ALTER and CREATE" so I do not think IBM is an outlier
in its similar prohibition.

another place where the host variable restriction is a problem is when
creating an alias in order to access a member of a file. The
following code does not work:

exec sql
create alias qtemp/utl0040al for
qusrsys/qatmhinstc(:MBRNAME) ;

instead you have to prepare and execute.
