Step 2

Enter the name of the new 4gl project:

Basically, LyciaStudio imposes no naming constraints. However, we suggest certain tips about choosing names for your projects:

• use meaningful names so that they can be easily found and maintained,

• use Latin letters (both upper and lower case) and arabic numbers (0-9) freely in your project names as well as full stops (.), dashes (-) and underscores (_),

• start your project names both with letters or with underscores,

• keep in mind that the letters coming after the last full stop (.) are treated as an extension.
