This plugin extends the capabilities of the .lbl file. The plugin will evaluate field expressions and insert(merge) text values from any of the database fields into the label.

In order to evaluate properly, the field name must be enclosed in square braces [fieldname].

Text that is not to be replaced is entered normally.

Text that is to be evaluated and replaced is contained in a string that starts with the = symbol and contains at least one field definition.

 

pt05

In the above example, the text strings "Alias:" and "SysName:" will print as shown. The text strings starting with the = symbol will be replaced by the data from the fields in the current record.

 

Further, assuming that the field [alias] contains the data "3/4-01" and the field [sysname] contains "3/4-01", the label will print as follows:

pt06

Any characters not enclosed in square braces "[ ]" will be printed as shown.
