[RF]: Using a variable while declaring a variable

Question

I am trying to create a variable using another variable using Set Variable Keyword. But I am getting below error.

${vname} = Set variable   var_
${{vname}a} = Set variable   a
Log ${var_a}

Error: No keyword with name '${{vname}a}=' found.

Can someone help to resolve this issue?

You can't do what you are trying to do. What is the real problem you're trying to solve? There are likely better solutions than to try to create dynamic variable names. — Bryan Oakley

you can do it with "set test variable" keyword:

${vname} = Set variable   var_
Set test variable   ${{vname}a}    a
Log ${var_a}
