I am using:
set history=111 "command-line history restored
set viminfo=%,\"4,'4,/111,:111,h,f0
"           |  |  |  |    |    | +file marks 0-9,A-Z 0=NOT stored
"           |  |  |  |    |    +disable 'hlsearch' loading viminfo
"           |  |  |  |    +command-line history saved
"           |  |  |  +search history saved
"           |  |  +files marks saved
"           |  +lines saved each register (old name for <, vi6.2)
"           +save/restore buffer list

I would like to use the value in 'history' to set the values in  
'viminfo':
But this does not work:

set viminfo=%,\"4,'4,/history,:history,h,f0
