I was surprised that there was no error when creating a table from the data in COPY STRUCTURE EXTENDED, or the cursor created with the array from AFIELDS and the field name column tweaked with dashes. At least the cursor created a name that was usable, but still no error or any indication the field name was not what was chosen.
If you try to create a table from code using CREATE tablename (field-name C(10)), you at least get a syntax error.
