VALID_NAME

Determines if a given string satisfies the TIBCO Object Service Broker definition of an identifier. (F)

Invocation

verify = VALID_NAME(name)

 

verify	On return, contains the value Y if name is a valid TIBCO Object Service Broker identifier or N if name is not valid.
name	A string specifying the identifier.

Usage Notes

•	A valid TIBCO Object Service Broker name is a character string of up to 16 characters beginning with a letter (A - Z) or a special character ($ or #), and continuing with more letters, special characters, digits (0 - 9), or underscore characters (_).

A table name starting with an @ symbol denotes a table supplied with TIBCO Object Service Broker.

•	If the string passed to VALID_NAME contains unmatched quotation marks, the value of N is returned.

Example

The following rule verifies that the name you provide for a table instance is a valid TIBCO Object Service Broker name:

---

 

RULE EDITOR ===> SCROLL: P

VERIFY_PARM(PARMNAME);

_

 _---------------------------------------------------------------------------

_ VALID_NAME(PARMNAME) = 'Y'; | Y N

_ ------------------------------------------------------------+--------------

_ CALL INPUT_DATA(PARMNAME); | 1

_ CALL ENDMSG(PARMNAME || ' IS NOT A VALID PARAMETER NAME'); | 1

_ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

 

If the parameter name is valid, INPUT_DATA is called to insert data into the table. If the parameter name is not valid, such as 4-5ITEMS, the user sees the message:

4-5ITEMS IS NOT A VALID PARAMETER NAME.
