	<GeneralSection><Paragraph class="Default">A label is a code that is used instead of language-dependent text in forms, reports, and menus. A label consists of a name and a content description. The content of a label can differ by language, but the label name remains the same for all languages.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph class="Default">A % sign in the description indicates a line break. For example: when you place the label with the "Sequence%Number" description in a report layout, the label is displayed as:</Paragraph>
			<CodeBlock space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">Sequence
Number</CodeBlock>
			<Paragraph class="Default">When you place a label on e.g. a form or a report layout, you can edit the label length requirements within the form field / report field. In this way you can make sure that the appropriate version of the label (e.g. the shorter version) is used in the form / report.</Paragraph>
