Subject:      how to resolve value of a variable

Hi there,

I need some help in solving this problem here....I have a situation in
which I have two variables
which are interlinked say in this fashion where one variables value is
part of the name of the other variable. Now I have to display the value
of the other variable by using the first variable in the put statment..
for eg. look at the commented statement....

This situation is a mock of a problem I got here, where I have to do
everything in the SAME datastep.....mind it that I have no flexibility
of splitting the datastep or create macro variables..

data _null_;
y='FMHK';
var_FMHK='some';
*put var_{value of y}=;
run;

Can anyone think of a solution....
Please let me know....
