OE sql did once have a feature related to what you are describing, checking for ABL keywords. This was quite a few releases ago. OE sql had an ABL keyword detection (for table/column names) once, many releases ago. We had quite a few comments, from customers and/or TechSupport, that this detection had problems because many ABL users run with a custom “keyword forget list” . So, for those ABL customers, blocking an ABL keyword would be hurtful. And my recollection is that the ABL customer could use the keyword forget list sometimes and not use it othertimes, which makes ABL keyword detection for sql even more complex. Plus, as Gus described, the sql standard requires OE sql to have delimited identifiers which must allow any identifier as a name. So, for these reasons , we removed the ABL keyword detection that we had implemented. Hope this helps. .....steve pittman [OE sql software architect]
