HP ALLBASE/SQL Names
You may define names for the following HP ALLBASE/SQL items from inside
HP ALLBASE/4GL:
* Base table names.
* Base table column names.
HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the field specification names for the table
record layout to name the columns of a base table.
Names for HP ALLBASE/SQL items defined in HP ALLBASE/4GL must meet these
requirements:
* Be no more than eight characters long for HP ALLBASE/SQL base
tables.
* Be no more than sixteen characters long for field specifications
used to define base table column names.
* Use the characters A to Z, 0 to 9 or _ (underscore).
* Start with an alphabetic character.
* contain no extended characters (8-bit characters).
HP ALLBASE/SQL automatically changes lowercase characters in these names
to uppercase.
NOTE Since HP ALLBASE/4GL is case sensitive and HP ALLBASE/SQL is not,
it is possible for several different HP ALLBASE/4GL names to refer
to the same HP ALLBASE/SQL item. HP ALLBASE/4GL displays a warning
message if you attempt to define a file name, and the same name
already exists in case shifted form.
