Name and Use clauses
The AWP commands AWP_In_Variable, AWP_Out_Variable, AWP_Enum_Def,
AWP_Enum_Ref, AWP_Start_Fragment and AWP_Import_Fragment have Name clauses.
HTML form commands such as <input> and <select> also have name clauses.
AWP_In_Variable and AWP_Out_Variable can additionally have Use clauses. Regardless of
the command, the syntax for Name and Use clauses regarding the handling of special
characters is the same:
● The text you provide for a Name or Use clause must be enclosed within single quotation
marks. If the enclosed name is a PLC tag or Data block name, use single quotation
marks for the full clause.
● Within a Name or Use clause, data block names and PLC tag names must be enclosed
within double quotation marks.
● If a tag name or Data block name includes a single quote character or backslash, escape
that character with a backslash. The backslash is the escape character in the AWP
command compiler.
