SYMPTOMS
========
When you attempt to create a new macro, you receive the following error
message:
Invalid Procedure Name
CAUSE
=====
The macro name contains invalid characters or reserved identifiers, or the
length exceeds 80 characters.
WORKAROUND
==========
Rename the macro to contain fewer than 80 charecters. For tips on valid macro
names see the More Information section of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Valid macro names:
- Must begin with a letter.
- Cannot contain spaces or non-alphanumeric characters (such as &, *, /,
and so on).
- Cannot contain periods. You may use a period (.) in a macro name only to
explicitly define a procedure within a module. For example, if you type in
the new macro name "my.test", you have created a new Module called "my"
containing a Procedure named "test".
- Cannot exceed 80 characters.
- Cannot conflict with a program's reserved identifiers or keywords, such as
the word "print".
