The naming rules are in Appendix E in the Quick Beginnings guide

General Naming Rules

Unless otherwise specified, all names can include the following characters:

A through Z. When used in most names, characters A through Z are converted from lowercase to uppercase. 0 through 9
@, #, $, and _ (underscore)

Unless otherwise specified, all names must begin with one of the following characters:
A through Z
@, #, and $

Do not use SQL reserved words to name tables, views, columns, indexes, or authorization IDs. For a list of SQL reserved words, refer to SQL Reference.

Can characters such as "%", "$", "#" be used in field
names in DB2?  I know it's a simple question, but the
book I have doesn't address it.  I'm assuming "yes."

Your help is appreciated!
