Label Printing Parameters
Reference Contents > General Program Functions > Label Printing Parameters
Whenever a report is identified as a label type report (the class must have the $islabel property set to kTrue) the label printing parameters window opens to enable you to change or confirm the label dimensions. On confirmation these settings are stored in the report class for use on a future occasion.

CUSTOM CAPABILITY: When you design your own report, for it to be recognised by the system as a label type report and subsequently trigger the Label Printing Parameters window, the report class must have the $islabel property set true. There are two methods of controlling label height. You can set the $userecspecing property of the Record section to kTrue and then the label height will be set in the class $recordspacing property. Alternatively, with the Record section $userecspecing property kFalse, you set the $startmode to kFromtop and $startspacing property to the label height. The Label Printing Parameters window works with both methods of control.
