# Rules for Using the File Name Tokens

When creating a file name that uses file name tokens, you must follow certain rules.

See the following list for the rules you have to comply with:

- Substitution parameters are enclosed in `$(tokenname)`. A dollar sign, followed by an open parenthesis, followed by the token name, followed by a close parenthesis.
- Each `$(tokenname)` can contain one token name only.
- Any text in the local file name that is not a substitution parameter is embedded, as is, into the generated name.
- Tokens might be used anywhere within the local file name.
- Space permitting, any number of substitution parameters might be embedded within the file name.
- If the resolved file name length is greater than the maximum file name, which is 255 characters, it is truncated.
- Tokens are case sensitive and will affect the output of the file name, so you must use them exactly as they are documented in File Name Tokens List.
- If a formatted name contains an invalid substitution code, the transfer fails with an error stating that a substitution code is bad.
