File names,keywords, and other conventions

This topic explains the file naming conventions, reserved keywords and special characters, and so on.

Reserved special characters and keywords introduction
IBM Sterling Order Management System reserves keywords and special characters that are only used internally.
Naming files
When naming files, IBM recommends that you choose characters from the standard English-based character set, such as A through Z and 0 (zero) through 9. That way, if you need to localize the application in languages other than English, you do not need to rename files.
Reserved keywords
Some keywords are reserved for use by the IBM Sterling Order Management System and are important to keep in mind when programming with APIs and creating error codes.
