Naming Schemes for Variables
You can use naming schemes for variables when adding them to formulas; however, you must avoid using reserved words as variable names.
Naming Schemes
You can use one of these naming schemes:
-
Variable names comprise one or more words, joined by underscores. The words must each start with a letter and can be followed by a combination of letters and digits.
-
Variable names begin and end with double quotes (''). Between the quotes, you can use any printable characters, such as ''This is a quoted variable name''.
Note:Any word consisting of only digits could be mistaken for numbers.
Formulas aren't case sensitive. For example, the variable named EMPLOYEE_NAME is the same as the variable employee_name.
The maximum length of a variable name is 255 characters.
Reserved Words
Ensure that you don't use these reserved words as variable names:
