Variable substitution

What am i doing wrong

The following query works

db2 -x "select 'create alias PSW${DBN}.${T1} for psoft.${T1};' from syscat.tables where TABNAME='SAMPLE' and type='T'"

The following does not work as soon as i pass a variable in where condition

db2 -x "select 'create alias PSW${DBN}.${T1} for psoft.${T1};' from syscat.tables where TABNAME=${T1}"

TABNAME is a character literal and needs a single quote on both sides of the literal.
