whitespace error

[rossdwilliams]

If there is whitespace in a cohort name then this causes the sql to fail on cohort creation.

Could we strip whitespace from cohort names upon creation? I have seen the same error in multiple packages (this is also not specific to prediction so maybe there is another place to raise this issue?)

is this whitespace at the start or any whitespace? What were your cohort names? and what was the error? Looking at the code there is a part where the sql file is created using the names and a part where the sql file is loaded using the names - both of these are using other OHDSI packages (so if it is the file name that needs editing it will mean editing in each skeleton or editing in both OHDSI packages)

Problems with both at the beginning and at the end.

it was "ECMO w viral infection " and " ECMO" but ed has now fixed this. this could be something to fix in atlas to restrict whitespace and special characters in names?
