As the titles reads, I have seen programs name objects and such with name, like g22_mdl instead of a number after "LOAD OBJECT "path", g22_mdl", but i did it, and it throws and illegal name error. Could a kind person help with my noobishness to dbpro?

You could do something like this.



If you get mad and want to type something nasty about another person do this-Type what you want to say in the box then press ctrl-a and hit delete then type what you should say.

It still won't work, i need the object to be g22_mdl, if it is g22_mdl = 1, it is 1, not g22_mdl.

I am not making much sense am I.

You don`t have full understanding of this that`s because you are not making much sense.You want your object to be g22_mdl and if you call "load object" properly the object you want is loaded.You also point that object number is not equal "g22_mdl", and there is no need to be, and it can`t be.Because there must be assigned number and not a name, so you get the error in the first place.

EDIT: I forget to answer your question.The only way to use a name instead of number for your object is to assign the number to a proper variable and use it`s name instead,in your case you need integer variable with name g22_mdl, as Jaeg showed in his snipet.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am
