I created a sequence using CREATE SEQUENCE. I want to retrieve the next
value. The problem is that my sequence name is in a variable.

Are you talking about the value for an auto-generated identity column? I
know you can get the value you just generated like this:
EXEC SQL values identity_val_local() into :hostVariable;

If you want the next value that hasn't been generated, then I don't know
about that.

How can I retrieve the next sequence into an RPG variable?

Tried this but it's not right :-)

wSqlSelect = 'select next value for ' + USER +
'from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY into :counter'; exec sql execute
immediate :wSqlSelect;


Thanks
