Can you use a numeric variable to qualify the number of keyfields to use when using %KDS

I'm trying to do a chain using a %kds qualifying the key fields to use with a numeric variable but am getting compile errors. 

D g_keyfields     s              1  0

g_KeyFields = 2;

chain %kds(ky_fb : g_KeyFields) fhrec;

The compile errors on the chain I'm getting are;
RNF7071 30 1 Number of KFLDs in KLIST is greater than number of key field in file 
RNF7705 30      2 The second parameter for %KDS is not valid.
I'm not seeing anything in the manual that would say I can't use a variable for the number of keys to use for %KDS. Or is this one of these things that you just can't use a variable for. I'm at V5R3. 

Thanks;

Andy
