You must give the label its type, position and presentation attributes.
To display the contents of this section, you must click Add Label or select a label call line in the table.
The fields are available or not in this section, depending on the label type you select.
For example, if you select a L: Fixed label or a T: Screen title type, the Presentation field is unavailable because it is relevant only for a Data Element label.
Line overflow is automatically controlled.
If both the line and column numbers equal zero, the element is automatically moved to the next tabulation point available.
Any line length overflow and field overlapping are automatically detected. However, the presence of a space in front of each field is not verified.
If both the line and column numbers equal zero, the element is automatically moved to the next tabulation point available.

This presentation is available only if you have selected a L: Fixed label type.
The label must not exceed 30 characters and cannot be entered if you have selected the repetition of a character.
At the end of the label, you must enter a slash ('/'), which serves as the delimiter. You can however include slashes in the label; the last slash is then considered as the delimiter. If you do not enter the delimiter, errors might occur when the Screen is compiled.
This field cannot be edited if the Label field for a label call or the Simulation value for a Data Element call has been given a value.
If you enter a character in this field, you must also enter the repeated character.
This field cannot be edited if the Label field for a label call, or the Initial value field for a Data Element call has been given a value.
