Reserved words – PB Docs 126

Reserved words

The words PowerBuilder uses internally are called reserved
words and cannot be used as identifiers. If
you use a reserved word as an identifier, you get a compiler warning.
Reserved words that are marked with an asterisk (*) can
be used as function names.

The PowerBuilder system class also includes private variables
that you cannot use as identifiers. If you use a private variable
as an identifier, you get an informational message and should rename
your identifier.

If you are deploying a DataWindow® to the Web, you
cannot use JavaScript reserved words to name fields or bands in
the DataWindow object. The list of reserved words is available on
the Sun Microsystems Web site.
