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 corresponding to the column cells which can be modified in
the table. So you can either enter information on a selected label
directly in the table or in this section. This page gives details
on these fields and the values you can enter.
- Label identifier
- 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
the list of this field are presented in the following table:
Table 1. Page break/line skip optionsOptions |

option P : printer 3800 with font in the Type field on the Definition of
the current Report. In this case, you must enter the character codes
of the font.
Preview
Clicking Preview opens a window which shows a preview of the layout before you start
generating. You can have a better idea of what the document looks
like with its actual format, the position of its fields. In this window,
you can view the page breaks, line skips, iterations, and totalization
lines you have defined.
