As an amusing anecdote, GDML has no dynamic component to it like dynamic SQL.
However, at least one enterprising customer spawned a QLI process as a pipe
server in their application. That layer passed dynamic GDML statements through
standard input and retrieved the result set through standard out.

How do I know this?

We changed the QLI prompt in V2.x which did a real number on the customer's
algorithm to parse QLI's output :)
