X class-name-1

X A user-defined word that identifies the class.

X external-class-name-1

X A name that enables a COBOL program to define or access classes with
X names that are defined using CORBA rules of formation. (Class names
X defined using CORBA rules of formation might not be expressible as a
X COBOL user-defined word, such as the case-sensitive SOM class names
X (SOMObject for example), or a class implemented in C with a name
X containing underscores.)

X You must specify external-class-name-1 as a nonnumeric literal,
X conforming to the following rules of formation:

X The name must not be a figurative constant.
X The name can be up to 160 characters in length.
X The characters used in the name must be uppercase or lowercase
X alphabetic, digit, or underscore.
X The leading character must be alphabetic.
