Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

The rules of naming an ISAM object (such as a table,
column, or index) are different than the rules for naming
a BASIC object such as a variable or procedure. ISAM names:
   ■ Have no more than 30 characters.
   ■ Use only the characters A-Z, a-z and 0-9.
   ■ Begin with an alphabetic character.
