OK, now tell us what you REALLY want to do. ;-)

As it is written up there, there doesn't exactly seem to be a reason
not to use an array for your variables -- instead of tn you write t[n]
and that's pretty much it.

I assume that there's a reason for you not to do things that way.

Now while there is certainly the possibility to use EXECUTE, I'd be
surprised if tehre weren't some cleverer way to do whatever you're
trying to do and I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to tell you
about that way if we had a little more information at hand ...
