Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * A compile error can occur if a print form name contains a    *
  * special character (such as underscore) in the first 8        *
  * positions of the name.                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The compile error would be something similar to IGYPA3007-S  *
  * "EZEHANDLE-????????" was not defined as a procedure-name,    *
  * where ???????? is the name of the print form (with X in the  *
  * position of the special character).                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The user can work around this problem by not using special
  characters in the form name, or by using the alias = "aliasName"
  annotation for the form, or by applying the fixtest and
  regenerating the form.
