I forgot to say that in the last case the DECLARE statement can be used
so I don't see the reason of this kind of "temporary" variables.
Maybe the variable object like used in DB2 and defined in document :
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPEK_11.0.0/sqlref/src/tpc/db2z_sql_createvariable.html
could be enough to cover our needs.
