Naming Conventions
Formula and condition names must follow HP ALLBASE/BRW item name rules.
That is:
* They must start with a letter, $, # or @.
* The first letter can be followed by up to 19 characters.
* The name cannot contain points, parentheses, spaces or commas
(letters, digits, and dashes are allowed).
* Items of the same type must have unique names.
* Items of different types (for example a layout calculated item and
a Layout Function) can have identical names, but note:
* Follow the rules for priority of arguments (see Arguments
earlier in this section).
* No item having the same name as a reserved word can be used in a
calculation. A list of reserved words is given later in this
chapter.
