Dunno about "any non-blank" in MI, but I do know that MI variable names starting with a period are NOT visible to the debugger (and that's well documented).

And I also know that ILE RPG seems perfectly happy with @ and $, and probably # as well, and that you can certainly use them in DDS field names.
