There are valid characters, and unfriendly characters. If you plan to SQL, the period (.) is one of those unfriendly characters as it interferes with the standard SQL name delimiter (in *SQL naming). But even if you are using *SYS naming, SQL cannot access stored procedures or user defined functions in libraries containing a period (.). I haven't tried with a period in the object name itself, but I suspect that it interferes there as well.

Subject: IBM Object naming rules
Could someone point out an online reference for object naming rules
for the standard maximum ten character upper case alpha numeric object
names for files? I understand that hyphens are illegal, but
underscores are valid. What is the domain of valid characters?
