It works - and the dot is not mandatory, except when you need a dot to be part of your command, and then you have to put two dots:

lcAlias=alias()
replace &lcAlias..fieldname with whatever

In this case the first dot denotes the end of macro, and the other is required by the syntax of the sentence.
