work with the DISK ID as a variable.
A$="Disk-NAME"
B$="9U"
HEADER (A$),I(B$),D0,U8
Gives a syntax error.
HEADER (A$),I9U,D0,U8
Works fine.
TIA.

Did you declare the array(s)? Suppose "I(B$)" is an array. But then I
don't know C=128 Basic 7.0.

I solved this by putting everything into one variable:
A$="Disk-NAME": B$=",I":C$="7U"
A$=A$+B$+C$
HEADER (A$),D0,U8

Not a bad guess, but not exactly that what the interpreter really does.
It a syntax error too, but not the same!
All disk based commands uses a sub-parser to handle the position
independent arguments. The parser expects for the "I" argument exactly 2
following characters following. There is no expression evaluation at
all. You have to be careful on known tokens like "ON", "TO", "FN", "IF"
which represents only one byte, expecting an additional byte which are
taken as ID.
In the case above, the parser takes "(B" as ID and the parser wants to
continue with "$)" where it expects a "," or "TO" (not in this case) or
a end-of-line, which raises the syntax error.
Currently I may only offer the german version of the command description
for HEADER as Wiki article, https://www.c64-wiki.de/wiki/HEADER, which
describes the special behavior on disk parameters.
The workaround as mentioned before by using ",Ixx" in the diskname
parameter is just possible, because the diskname is written directly to
command channel. The only limit is the length of 16 characters. In that
way the diskname is limited to 12 characters, if the remaining 4
characters are needed for ",Ixx".
