I'm running UD v7.1 and got an error message from within a BASIC program
like:

 In E:\DataTrust\DTA\BP\BP\_TRREC at line 1161 "-" is not an indexed/legal
field.

...caused by the BASIC statement:

 SETINDEX NAME.KEY, A.CODE ON ARTDESC

...where the index looks like:

:LIST ARTDESC INDEX_1
ARTDESC INDEX_1.................................

ADV     PREPAID ON ACCOUNT-1300
CAF     COLLECTION AGENT FEE-5340
CLA     CLEAR ACCOUNT-1300
EVI     EVICTION NOTICE-2100
.
.

Am I correct in assuming that UniData won't accept a "-" in the indexed
field?  What's up with this?  Is this another character I need to
programatically manage?  Are there others?

As always, thanks.
