Naming a source in the standard astronomy style results in spectrum generation issues

[DavidT3]

For instance, defining a source with name="XMMXCSJ142601.0+374937.0", results in a SAS error:

xga.exceptions.SASGenerationError: datasetCouldNotBeRead raised by rmfgen - The dataset with name '0112230201_mos1_XMMXCSJ142601.0' could not be read; either it does not exist or it is in an unrecognised format

The dataset name reported in the error is not the full spectrum path, its cut off just before a "+" symbol, suggesting some SAS procedure has an issue with that particular symbol.

The error does not seem to occur when the "+" is replaced by a "-"

• in filenames has some extra meaning to SAS, so I took a slightly cheesy route and just replaced any "+" symbols in object names with "x", when it comes to writing and reading files. The name of the source object itself is not altered, just the files that SAS generates from it.
