PARM10=hello

If I have the above in a script and I want to echo the value of my
parameter PARM10, how would I do that by combining my AZ parameter. For
instance I want to be able to do

echo $PARM$AZ

and have it echo the value of PARM10 to say hello. I can't figure how to
quote it to expand $PARM10.

TIA
