Voila! You've sent out another raw transaction, but this time using named arguments for clarity and to reduce errors. Voila! You've sent out another raw transaction, but this time using named arguments for clarity and to reduce errors.
> **VERSION WARNING:** There is where the bug in Bitcoin Core 0.14 shows up: the 'inputs' argument for 'createrawtransaction' is misnamed 'transactions'. So, if you're on Bitcoin Core 0.14.0, substitute the named argument 'inputs' with 'transactions' for this and future examples. Based on the current code updates, this example should work as shown when Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 is released. > **VERSION WARNING:** There is where the bug in Bitcoin Core 0.14 shows up: the 'inputs' argument for 'createrawtransaction' is misnamed 'transactions'.

## Summary: Creating a Raw Transaction with Named Arguments ## Summary: Creating a Raw Transaction with Named Arguments
By running `bitcoin-cli` with the `-named` flag, you can use named arguments rather than depending on ordered arguments. `bitcoin-cli help` will always show you the right name for each argument. This can result in more robust, easier-to-read, less error-prone code.

_These docs will use named arguments for all future examples, for clarity and to establish best practices. However, it will also show all arguments in the correct order. So, if you prefer not to use named args, just strip out the '-named' flag and all of the "name="s and the examples should continue to work correctly._ _These docs will use named arguments for all future examples, for clarity and to establish best practices.
