FUNC-NAME

The FUNC-NAME terminal in the MaxL language represents the name of a custom-defined Essbase calculator function (CDF).

Using one token indicates a global function. For a local (application-level) function, use two tokens.

The name of a custom-defined function is a unique string that begins with a letter or a @, #, $, _ symbol. The name can include alphanumeric characters or the aforementioned symbols. Oracle recommends that you start a function name with @.

Any token of the name that contains special characters (see MaxL Syntax Notes), must be enclosed in single or double quotation marks.
