Details

Names for variables and labels should adhere to the following rules in Amiga Basic:

• Names cannot be AmigaBasic.reserved() words

• Names should only contain alphanumeric characters or periods and should not contain special characters (i.e., reserved for type definition, such as dollar- or percentage sign)
