Hello,

Subroutine names follow the same general name rules as variables in EViews program. Specifically, subroutine names can be alphanumeric strings, not beginning with a numerical digit, and may include the symbols _ and $.

300 characters seems to be the new limit for valid names in EViews :shock:
