The identifiers in the following table are reserved for use as keywords by Report-Writer. If delimited identifiers have been turned on, you can use reserved words as delimited identifiers for table, view, column, schema, or user names by enclosing them within double quotes ("). Using reserved words in QUEL is not allowed. Follow all rules for using delimited identifiers, as described in the section, Delimited Identifiers. Using reserved words in any other way is likely to produce incorrect results when Report-Writer prints the report.

If you use one of the reserved words in the preceding table as a column name without delimiting it, Report-Writer issues a warning message. It also supersedes the definition of the built‑in function with the column name you specify. All further references to the reserved word relate to the column, not to the Report-Writer function, which could produce unexpected results.

All SQL keywords are also reserved words in Report-Writer. For a complete list of these keywords, see the SQL Reference Guide.
