Naming Source Code Objects

There are important requirements for Source Code names:

  • Source Code names must not include reserved words or special characters.
  • Source Code names must include a file extension; for example, .sas for SAS, .rpt for Oracle Reports, or .sql for PL/SQL source code definitions. The system uses the name you enter to name the actual file that contains the source code.
  • A Source Code's Oracle name must not be the same as the Oracle name of either a Table Descriptor or another Source Code in the same PL/SQL Program definition.
