Good question, Bob. A symbolic constant can be used in place of a constant value. It can't be used in place of a statement key word. In the case of the CREATE statement, the "K" used to specify the file type is a key word. You couldn't use a variable name there either. Likewise, this wouldn't work in the CREATE statement:

SET CREATE$ = "create"
CREATE$ "file" dir="dir"
