It's not just Universe.  Not many compilers will like variables with 
dashes.  With CLIENT-MASTER.FILE, the compiler would think that you wanted 
to subtract MASTER.FILE from CLIENT.

For example, try this (if it even compiles, that is):

CLIENT = 3
MASTER.FILE = 1
TEMP = CLIENT-MASTER.FILE
PRINT TEMP

It should print out 2
