An entity-occurrence name is the name you provide to a schema or subschema entity, such as the schema itself, a schema area, and a schema record.
The following are valid characters to include in entity-occurrence names:
Lowercase letters in entity names are translated to uppercase.
The first character of an identifier must be a letter, @, $, or #. A hyphen cannot be the last character and cannot follow another hyphen.
Note: Element name can also begin with a digit (0 through 9).
Because the DDL compilers cannot anticipate which programming languages will use which records and elements, the user is responsible for ensuring that record and element names follow the character set and word length rules and do not duplicate any of the reserved words of the specific compiler or assembler.
Maximum Length
The maximum length of an entity-occurrence name depends on the entity. Syntax rules for each entity indicate length restrictions.
Avoid Using Keywords
Keywords recognized by a DML processor may inhibit the processor's operation when used as entity-occurrence names. Keywords will pass successfully through the processor under some conditions, but not under others. Consequently, avoid using keywords as entity-occurrence names.
