Precautions on assigning a name

This section explains the conditions for assigning a name and shows the list of reserved words.
Conditions
(1) Specify a name by a character string of up to 32 characters.
(2) Do not use a reserved word.
For reserved words, refer to Table 3.7-1 Reserved words.
(3) Use alphanumeric and underscore (_).
(4) Do not use an underscore at the end of a name.
Do not use two or more underscores in succession.
(5) Do not use a space.
(6) Do not use a number at the initial character.
(7) A constant cannot be used.
(An identifier that begins with 'H' or 'h' and an expression where a hexadecimal (0 to F)
immediately follows 'H' or 'h' (maximum 9 digits including 'H' or 'h' (excluding 0 that
immediately follows 'H' or 'h')) are also treated as a constant. (Example: 'hab0'))
