| # Labels 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. Labels in a report-layout For each label code, you can specify: A label description. This is the label text which you can edit and translate. The length. This is the number of characters of the description. The height. This is the number of lines of the description. Multiple descriptions, with different lengths and heights, can exist for the same label code. See the following table for an example:
Label code | Language | Height | Length | Description
ttttaad501.sequ | 1 (Dutch) | 1 | 6 | Volgnr
ttttaad501.sequ | 1 (Dutch) | 1 | 10 | Volgnummer
ttttaad501.sequ | 1 (Dutch) | 2 | 6 | Volg-%nummer
ttttaad501.sequ | 2 (English) | 1 | 6 | SeqNo.
ttttaad501.sequ | 2 (English) | 1 | 12 | Sequence No.
ttttaad501.sequ | 2 (English) | 2 | 8 | Sequence%Number
Note 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:
    Sequence
    Number
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. To create labels You can create labels in the Labels (ttadv1140m000) session. If you create new labels, you must compile these in the Compile Labels (ttadv1243m000) session so that Infor Enterprise Server can display the new labels at run time.
