Identifiers

An identifier is a sequence of characters of unlimited length that denotes either a function or a method name. An identifier always begins with one of the following characters:

  • Any alphabetic character (based on the Unicode letter classifications)

  • Underscore (_)

  • Dollar sign ($)

  • Exclamation mark (!)

FormCalc identifiers are case-sensitive. That is, identifiers whose characters only differ in case are considered distinct.
