Error dumping sequence values

Anyone ever seen this before when dumping sequence values in OE10.2B08?

I've sorted it, but it's an odd one. I had my logical DB names set as '1' and '2' as I'm migrating settings from 1 to 2 as part of a D&L process. If I change the logical names to pctrl1 and pctrl2 it works fine. So something to do with this evidently?

Documentation says about Logical Database Name (-ld): "The first character must be an uppercase or lowercase letter". Hence  '1' and '2' are not valid names. But Progress allows to use only digits with the -ld parameter while the compiler (when it's used to compile on fly as with the sequences) does not like such names:

pro sports -ld 1

Thanks George. Surprising I've never come across that before.
