Hi,

Any one got a list of non-acceptables characters that should not be used in names?
Any problems/advice on using / \ , ( ) [ ]

or any general naming conventions that they are willing to share ie restrict names to 32 characters so they fit into symbol and upper case first character of every word in name.

Anything related to BPMN Busines Process diagram would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

In SA Help under a search "Bad Character" you get the following

Names cannot contain the characters '&><:'."

SA seems to let me create whatever I want but sometimes things blow up in my face later.

With any CASE tool that I have been respobsible for I have the same naming rules. Characters A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9 plus - and _ and nothing else. Even if other characters work in the tool you will have problems when interfacing with other products and some macros may interpret characters as operators and attempt to perform math on the name.

I made the mistake of allowing blank characters in names and now have regular issues interfacing with other tools over when things should be in quotes.

Thanks for your replies.

The Support response I got was that double quotes are not allowed.
Possible problems with period and colon.

All other characters are OK within the tool.
But as Peter said "you will have problems when interfacing with other products and some macros may interpret characters as operators and attempt to perform math on the name."
