As a follow up to my question, trying both suggestions, I get the following:
TEST 1 C_TEXT($fname) $fname:="JT_070" Begin SQL ALTER TABLE JotForm ADD :$fname TEXT NOT NULL; End SQL This produces a parsing error at the ":$fname" It doesn't seem to like the : or the << using the alternate memtion in the manual. This is in ver 15.2 TEST 2 For ($count;1;72) $sql:="alter table jotform add JT_"+String($count;"000")+" text not null" Begin SQL execute immediate :$sql; End SQL end for This works well!
