LIST-LABEL Syntax

The syntax for the LIST-LABEL command is identical to that of the LIST command. That is, the user may include an explicit item list, selection expressions, output specifications, print limiters, modifiers, and options. Note that the COL-HDR-SUPP and DBL-SPC modifiers work differently for reports in label format. The COL-HDR-SUPP modifier produces a continuous form report (one with no page breaks), and also suppresses the default heading on each page of the report. The DBL-SPC modifier has no effect.

The SORT-LABEL command has the same syntax as the LIST-LABEL command, with the addition of sort expressions. The sorting capability is especially useful with label formats because it produces mailing labels in alphabetical order (for example, by last name) or in numeric order (for example, by zip code).
