also, if you just rename the field with valid characters the issue will probably go away. however, if you need to import data from the fm6 file it will be more difficult to matchup based on names.
in  fm6 leading with a number was ok.

1. I have a field named 1999 uvmc orch. When I use it in a script I get “Set Variable [ $$vvalue; Value:ConvertUVMC::${1999 uvmc orch} ]”.
The $ makes it look like a variable…what gives?
2.       I have the following script steps (in another script)
3.
Set Variable [ $vloopcntr; Value:$$vnorepeats ]
Loop
Set Variable [ $$vvalue; Value:GetRepetition ( GetField($ $vfieldname);$vloopcntr) ]
If [ not IsEmpty ( $$vvalue ) ]

$$vfieldname is set to “1999 uvmc orch”
$$vnorepeats is set to the number of repetitions for that field

Not IsEmpty does not work: I suspect I am getting the wrong value back as it is always a ?, which I assume means invalid data.

I am really stymied on this conversion project.
Many thanks for any help.
