Identifier construction rules

An identifier is the name you give to a variable, a constant, a type, a class, a function, a sub, or a property.

The following rules govern the construction of identifiers in a script.

• The first character must be an uppercase or lowercase letter.
• The remaining characters must be letters, digits, or underscore ( _ ).
• A data type suffix character (%, &, !, #, @, or $) can be appended, but is not part of the identifier.
• The maximum length is 40 characters, not including the optional suffix character.
• Names are case insensitive. For example, VerED is the same name as vered.
• Characters with ANSI codes higher than 127 (those outside the ASCII range) are legal.

' $ is illegal as character in identifier
Call ProductClass.LoMethod$            ' Illegal           
Call ProductClass.LoMethod~$           ' Legal

X = OLEClass.Hi@Prop                   ' Illegal
X = OLEClass.Hi~@Prop                  ' Legal
