Definition

This flag indicates which characters can be used in the object names for a logical object type.

The following settings exist:

  • Syntactic characters (without a-z)
    The object names contain characters from the syntactic character set only (consisting of the uppercase letters A-Z, the digits 0-9, the underscore and several other special characters). The lowercase letters a-z are converted to the corresponding uppercase letters A-Z.
  • Syntactic characters (including a-z)
    The object names contain character names from the syntactic character set only, including the lowercase letters a-z. There is no conversion to uppercase letters.
  • All characters (without a-z)
    The object names can contain all characters except the lowercase letters a-z. The lowercase letters a-z are converted to the corresponding uppercase letters A-Z.
    This setting exists only for compatibility, you may not use it for new logical object types.
    If the logical object type can be locked, then the names of newly created objects can consist only of the characters in the syntactic character set.
  • All characters (including a-z)
    The object names can contain all characters. There is no conversion to uppercase letters.
    You cannot use this setting for lockable object types (i.e. those that must be entered in the object directory).

Note:

To use the setting Syntactic characters (including a-z) you require complete authorization for the Transport Organizer (authorization S_CTS_ALL).
