OK, so the reason we were all confused is that "interning" is a

yes
the values of name and data will be substringed from an argument passed to
the method at runtime
Thanks

I would like to define a variable within a method but make it available to
the entire module - globally.
Take a string "abc" convert to a variable (symbol??) abc and set to the
string value "def".
The values of name and data are unknown - they are variable.
In this example the variable (symbol??) a

(define (test-intern)
(let* ((name "abc")
(data "def")
(name-symbol (gensym name))
)
(pretty-print (string-append "symbol: " (symbol->string name-symbol)))
(set! name-symbol data)))

You don't intern variables, you intern symbols (now I guess you
know that, but then: what are you trying to do?)

deprecated? Is there a substitute? gensym does not seem to be it:
scheme@(guile-user)> (gensym "abc")
