identifiers.

Rules
Identifiers:
• Must start with a letter
• Can have up to 40 characters, but no spaces
• Are case insensitive (PART, Part, and part are identical)
• Can include any combination of letters, numbers, and these special
characters:
- Dash
_ Underscore
$ Dollar sign
# Number sign
% Percent sign
Joining words in multiword
names
Since DataWindow Designer does not allow spaces in identifiers, you can
use any of the following techniques to join words in an identifier:
• Initial caps (for example,
IncomeJanuary)
• Dashes (for example,
northeast-sales)
• Underscores (for example,
quantity_on_hand)
