HP TurboIMAGE/iX Names
You may define names for the following HP TurboIMAGE/iX items from within
HP ALLBASE/4GL:
* Data set names.
* Field specification (data item) names.
* Database names (within the administrator application).
HP TurboIMAGE/iX accepts all legal HP ALLBASE/4GL characters, except
underscores (_). In addition to HP ALLBASE/4GL characters, the following
characters may be used in HP TurboIMAGE/iX names:
+, -, *, /, ?, ', #, %, &, and @.
These characters cannot be used for any HP ALLBASE/4GL names, such as the
file name and the field specification name. However, all legal HP
TurboIMAGE/iX characters may be used for defining external HP
TurboIMAGE/iX names, such as the Schema Data Set Name field on the
file/SQL table definition screen, and the Data Item Name field on the
data manager specific field attributes screen.
HP ALLBASE/4GL automatically changes lowercase characters in names to
uppercase when communicating with HP TurboIMAGE/iX.
NOTE Since HP ALLBASE/4GL is case sensitive, and HP TurboIMAGE/iX is
not, it is possible for several different HP ALLBASE/4GL names to
refer to the same HP TurboIMAGE/iX item. For example, F-order and
F-Order are different within HP ALLBASE/4GL, but both map to the HP
TurboIMAGE/iX data set name ORDER.
