How to Enter an Identifier

An identifier is a name which starts with a letter and contains only letters and digits. The list of allowed characters is specified in config file IDA.CFG. All names are case-sensitive.

Maximal length of a name is specified in the configuration file too:

        MAX_NAME_LENGTH=120     // Maximal length of new names
Default is 120.

Some assemblers have lower name length limit, beware!

If you enter an illegal name, IDA will warn you.
