It doesn't because the value is expanded as a constant, therefore all

(although I admit I don't know if you are able to do an OPEN CURSOR with
EXECUTE)

Bob [Floyd] used to say that he was planning to get a Ph.D. by the "green
stamp method," namely by saving envelopes addressed to him as 'Dr. Floyd'.
After collecting 500 such letters, he mused, a university somewhere in
Arizona would probably grant him a degree. (Don Knuth)
