SPSSINC trans gives error message in SPSS 27 syntax worked in SPSS 24

[Art Kendall]

this syntax worked with other variables in SPSS 24.

spssinc trans result = T.Store.Water01 to T.Store.Water12 type=25
    /formula "string.split(How.Store.Water, '|')".
now it gives this message in SPSS 27  (release 27.0.1.0).

Did a vanilla install of SPSS 27. Did I miss something?

The variable names must be legal as Python names, because the procedure generates Python code based on those names.  You can't have "." in a name  in Python.

Thank you.

Good to know that "_"  is okay when using Python.

I have the impression that Water_Source01 would be more human-readable.
