Hi Dave,

thanks.

Additionally I think this section (7.1.1) is relevant too:

"Finally, a label for a named-number enumeration must consist of one
or more letters or digits, up to a maximum of 64 characters, and the
initial character must be a lower-case letter. (However, labels
longer than 32 characters are not recommended.) Note that hyphens
are not allowed by this specification (except for use by information
modules converted from SMIv1 which did allow hyphens)."

in my case the underscore was used in a label for an INTEGER value.

regards
jmf
