I changed the label of a global variable to one with an apostrophe (single quote) in its name, and compilation started to fail.  

The error list suggested that a terminator character was missing.  My guess is that the single-quote is used as a formatter in the compiler's parsing.  

In any case, removing the offending single-quote allowed the compilation to succeed.  The issue may extend to labels for controls, indicators, etc.-- I haven't tested.  But if your compilation is failing for mysterious reasons, check that you're not using a potentially reserved character in some label somewhere.
