Variable Variable names

Does any one know if it is possible in RPG (or any other i_series)
language to do the following

 

Ws_work_zone = %pgmvar(var) 

 

%pgmvar would be a function which would allow you to get the contents of
a variable , whose name is contained in a variable.

 

Eg if in my imaginary function var contains the name of a field  'FRED'
,  and FRED contains 'ABC' ,  I would end up with 'ABC' in ws_work_zone

 

Many thanks in advance
