Reserved words

The following names, words and characters are reserved. Don’t use them in your state tables as labels, local variables, input parameters, entry points, state table names, and so on.

state table actions: All the ASCII state table names, for example, AnswerCall, Dial, MakeCall.
state table action edges: All the ASCII state table action results, for example, EDGE_OK, EDGE_HUP.
system variable names: SVnnn where nnn is a number, for example, SV120.
reserved characters: # : ( ) , ; < > = - + / *

Keywords are used by state table actions when they are exported to ASCII. For example, the PlayPrompt action with the force play option is exported as follows:

PlayPrompt (  "TRUE",

              <other parameters>

);

Note: To prevent possible clashes between keywords and variable names you must put double quotes around the keyword when you are using an ASCII editor.

Bear this limitation in mind when you are writing state tables. The complete list of keywords used by actions in this way is:
