Restricted Character Set - Logic

We recommend that you only use the following characters in identifiers in Logic programs:

a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

_

Logic program identifiers cannot:

NOTE: Technically, it is possible to use other characters and numbers in the Unicode standard. But we recommend that you only use the restricted character set shown above.

ATTENTION: If a database item's name includes parentheses ( ), you should ensure that each opening parenthesis is paired with a closing parenthesis. If this is not the case, any Logic programs that reference the database item will not compile successfully. For example, a point named "Analog Point (4" or "Analog Point (4))" will generate a compile error message. Multiple sets of parentheses will compile successfully, including nested parentheses. For example, a Logic program can refer to a point named "Analog Point (4)" or "Analog Point (4(x))". For more information, see Limitation for Database Item Names Referenced in Logic Programs in the ClearSCADA Guide to Logic.
