Parameter, Action and Keyword Names

The question of what is a valid parameter, action or keyword name is rather complicated. It is affected by Interface File parsing, the parameter system, HDS and the particular user interface in use. Appendix [*] gives the maximum lengths allowed and, to avoid problems, it is recommended that names begin with a letter and continue with true alphanumeric characters or underscore.

Parameter, action and keyword names are converted to upper case for storage. If they are displayed, in prompts or error messages etc., they will appear in upper case.
