Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Repository Reference

> ## Field conventions

> Fields in the Repository use the following conventions:

> - The field name should be between five and 29 characters long.

> - The valid characters for field names are lowercase “a . . z” and the underscore ( _ ).

> - Field names should be as specific as possible. For example, use “`customer_name`” rather than “`name.`”

> - Fields in different tables that can be used as join fields should have the same name.
