Label Description

The label text that will appear where the label is used in forms, reports and menus.

If you specified a height greater than one, you must use a % sign to indicate the line break.

To include the % character in the description, type %%.

Example:

Height Maximum Lenght Maximum Label Description Result on form/report
1 9 Item Code Item Code
2 4 Item%Code Item
      Code
1 14 Percentage [%%] Percentage [%]
2 5 Perc.%[%%] Perc.
      [%]
Note: If the label code is equal to a table field name, the adjust method is dependant on the domain data. The domain data can be written over by the specifications in the label fields in forms or reports.
Label

The label code.

Always use label codes that refer to database fields.

If the label is associated with a domain definition of a database table field, the label description is automatically aligned as defined for the domain. If you change the alignment of the domain, you do not need to change all the (multi-occurrence) forms. If you redump the forms to run time, the label description has the alignment that you defined for the domain.

Example tiitm001.item = field Item Code of table tiitm001

Use:
Label Code: tiitm001.item
Database Field : tiitm001.item, associated domain tiitm.item
Domain : tiitm.item
