I need to use a variable for SQLSTRINGCONNECT() I can't seem to make a variable work.

Working Code:
lcConnection = 'DRIVER=Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit);SYSTEM=GVAS400;DefaultLibraries=webprddt6;'+;
'TRANSLATE=1;UID=DRAW;PWD=WEBER;SIGNON=2;SSL=3'

gnHandle1 = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(&lcConnection)

= SQLDISCONNECT(gnHandle1)

None Working Code:
Select actpth From pathtbl Where compid == 'PC341sde' And pthname == 'ClientAccess' InTo Cursor myodbcx
lcConnection = myodbcx.actpth

gnHandle1 = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(&lcConnection)

= SQLDISCONNECT(gnHandle1)
