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
Description : | Item Code
