About Variable Names and File Parameters

All characters in variable names must be valid.

The following characters are invalid: ~, `, !, @, #, %, ^, &, *, -, +, =, {, }, [, ], \, /, <, >, . (period), , (comma), ?, “

The variable name must start with a non-numeric character. For example, a parameter named 3var is invalid. Instead, you can name the variable var3 or variable. Isight variables that do not conform to this format are not displayed in the list of available parameters.

A variable that contains a space in its name must be surrounded by single quotation marks in the expression. For example, a parameter called variable one would be entered into the expression as 'variable one'.

The Isight file parameter can be mapped to the BLOB datatype, except for MSAccess, which uses OLE datatypes.
