Ambiguous keyword abbreviation error [message #55825] Tue, 11 September 2007 11:57

So I have NEVER seen this error before, and now I've seen it twice in one
day, with two completely different programs (one I wrote, one I didn't):

Ambiguous keyword abbreviation: [name of function/program]

I've been poring through the user group here and I *sort-of* see what is
going on, but what ARE the rules for naming keywords? I was under the
mistaken notion that these were like named variables, so as long as I had
unique names for each one I was good to go. Does this behavior differ from
system to system (the 2nd of the two failures was from a program that I have
to assume has been run at least ONCE before I got a hold of it, so it should
have shown the error before I received it -- this may be an incorrect
assumption...)? Is there an easy way to disable this, or do I have to go
back through and rename keywords all over the place...

Thoughts? Thanks!
