Parameter naming constraints
When specifying labels for datasets, configurations, schedules or groups, there are a few constraints which must be respected:
Maximum length of 31 characters.
Must not start with a full stop/period character (
.).Must not match any command name, critical parameter keywords, or existing labels; in this context a match is not case sensitive. A complete list of reserved words can be found in the appendix.
Labels are case sensitive; 'a' is not the same as 'A'.
It is good practice to use only alphabetic characters, numeric digits, and the underscore '_' character. This will avoid problems in future if any other punctuation character is assigned a special purpose.
Special characters which can not be used:
Extended ASCII characters (code 128+)
' ' (space)
'!' (exclamation mark)
'“' (double quote)
'#' (number sign)
'$' (dollar)
'&' (ampersand)
''' (single quote)
‘()' (parentheses)
'*' (asterisk)
',' (comma)
'/' (forward slash)
';' (semicolon)
'<' (less than)
'='(equals)
'>' (greater than)
'?' (question mark)
'@' (at sign)
'[]' (square brackets)
'\' (backslash)
'^' (caret)
'`' (grave)
'{}' (curly brackets)
'|' (pipe)
'~' (tilde)
'%' (percent)
