I do that occasionally - but sadly the pseudo-host-variables in iACs are ... a) not persistent - so I have to re-enter them at every execution again and again - VScode DB2 for I has a new "bind:" prefix - I have to look into this b) if you have the same host-variable multiple times, you have to enter it multiple times - which is also less than ideal But all in all I use that feature here and there.

I say, I believe, because it seems I've actually done it.
