Cause
The error message occurs because one of the object or prompt names used in QaaWS begins with a number or contains special/accented characters.
A WSDL is an XML file. XML does not allow an element name to begin with a number or punctuation mark.
Resolution
- Rename the object at the universe level or rename the prompt name in the QaaWS (Query As A Web Service)
