Character Set
The alphanumeric character set is a combination of alphabetic (Latin letters) and/or numeric (Arabic digits)
characters. The set consists of the numbers 0 to 9, letters A to Z (uppercase) and a to z (lowercase). The
underscore character ( _ ) and dash/hyphen (-) are also considered to be members of the alphanumeric set of
characters.
Blank spaces (whitespaces or SPACE characters) should mostly be avoided in alphanumeric strings, except
in certain ruledef formats, such as time/date stamps.
Do not use any of the following "special" characters in an alphanumeric string except as noted below:
• & (ampersand)
