When creating scripts, there are limitations regarding the characters you can use. These are fixed by the lanuage standard, and mean that for some parts of your scripts, you can only use certain characters from the English character set.
The characters you can use vary depending on which part of a script you are defining:
- Language Keywords—The keywords you use in languages, for example, FUNCTION, are fixed by the language standard. They cannot be changed or translated in any way.
- Identifiers—Identifiers that you create in programs and scripts can only use the restricted character set. For example, the names for functions, procedures and variables can only use characters from the restricted character set.
- String Constants—When you define constants, you can use any characters from any language. For example, you can use Chinese characters within the double quotation marks of the constant.
- Tag References—References to items in the database can use characters from any character set. However, the actual tags may only support a limited character set.
