Sure.  Use the PREPARE statement.  Here's a brief sketch:
C/EXEC SQL                                
C+ DECLARE DYNFIL SCROLL CURSOR FOR DYNSTM
C/END-EXEC       
C* Use MOVE, CAT, etc. to build up the full statement.
C* The final result will look something like:
C* SELECT KWD,TT,INIT,TTDATE,TTDESC             
C*  FROM TTIND K,TTHDR H                        
C*  WHERE (K.TT=H.TTNUM AND K.INIT=H.TTINIT) AND
C*  KWD=                                        
C*  ORDER BY KWD,TT DESC                        
C*  FOR READ ONLY                               
C*                         
C/EXEC SQL                    
C+ PREPARE DYNSTM FROM :WWHERE
C/END-EXEC                    
C/EXEC SQL                  
C+ OPEN DYNFIL USING :WWHERE
C/END-EXEC                  
C/EXEC SQL                                                   
C+ FETCH NEXT FROM DYNFIL INTO :KWD,:TT,:INIT,:TTDATE,:TTDESC
C/END-EXEC                                                   
C/EXEC SQL     
C+ CLOSE DYNFIL
C/END-EXEC     

Notice that your FETCH has hard-coded the columns you want to return, so you
don't want to  tinker too much with the SELECT clause.
