If I use the COPY TO command, can I use a variable to name the table?

EX:
THISFORM.VARIABLE = '12345'
COPY TO \PATH\DIRECTORY\THISFORM.VARIABLE.DBF.

When I do that I get a table named "thisform.variable.dbf" instead of "12345.dbf"

How do I dictate that I am going to use a variable? &THISFORM.VARIABLE..DBF ???
