Probably this type of assignment is not supported (yet). I assume that
DYNAMIC means that the user is prompted for a file name. At least that is

giving a name explicitly (just delete DYNAMIC?).

Level 78 variables are constant definitions. I guess you could just replace
all occurrences of a 78 variable with its VALUE.
