OpenSTA Datanames

The names of many items within Scripts must be defined as an OpenSTA Dataname. For example labels, variable names, and subroutine names must all be OpenSTA Datanames.

An OpenSTA Dataname has between 1 and 16 characters. These characters may only be alphanumerics, underscores, or hyphens. The first character must be alphabetic, no spaces, no double underscores or hyphens, and no trailing underscore or hyphen.

OpenSTA Datanames are not case sensitive.

Note: The compiler currently only seems to care about trailing underscores or hyphens in labels. This behavior may change so our advice is to avoid using trailing underscores or hyphens everywhere.
