To display the contents of this section, you must click the Add Label button or select a label call line in the tree. In this section, you must give the label its type, position and presentation attributes.
The fields are available or not in this section, depending on the label type you select.
For example, if you select a Fixed label or a Screen title type, the Presentation field is not available because it is relevant only for a Data Element label.
If the line and column numbers are both equal to zero, the Data Element is automatically positioned on the next tabulation point available.
Any line length overflow and field overlapping are automatically detected. However, the presence of a space in front of each field is not verified.
If the line and column numbers are both equal to zero, the Data Element is automatically positioned on the next tabulation point available.
This field enables you to select the label associated with each Data Element on the Screen.
The values for the label type correspond to the association between the Data Element and the presentation characteristics for these labels (left-justified...).

This presentation is not available if you have selected a Screen title label.
The label must not exceed 30 characters and can be edited only if you have chosen the repetition of a character.
At the end of the label, you must enter a slash ('/'), which serves as the delimiter. You can however include slashes in the label; the last slash will then be considered as the delimiter. If you do not enter the delimiter, errors may occur upon the Screen compilation.
This field cannot be edited if the 'Label' field for a new label call or the 'Simulation value' for a new Data Element call are valorized.
If you enter a character in this field, you must also enter the repeated character.
This field cannot be edited if the 'Label' field for a new label, and the 'Initial value' field for a new Data Element call are valorized.
Here you select the presentation attributes of the label.
