In the Label Definition section
of the -L lines tab, you can define or modify
the name and line number of a label. You can also specify the line
skip or a page break after the line, at printing.
Label Definition
The -L Lines tab includes a table
in which you organize the label lines on your current Report. It also
includes a Label Definition section containing
fields which must be completed to define the characteristics of the
label selected or entered in the table. You can either enter information
on a selected label in this section or directly in the table. The
table contains editable fields. Some other fields offer values in
a list. When you move your cursor on a value of the list, the label
associated with the value is displayed in a tooltip. This page gives
details on these fields and the values you can enter.
Note: The possible actions with the
buttons are also available in the contextual menu of the table.

- Enter the line number which is made of two characters maximum.
It is advised to leave gaps in the numbering sequence to allow for
future line insertions as necessary.
- Page break - Line skip
- The option selected in this field is used for paging and line
spacing when generating the Report layout. The options available in
