Reports have standard (optional) header and footer fields. When laying out a TppReport (which is eventually saved in the rpt_layout table) use these TppLabel names. The report software will set the captions at run time.

ppLabelTitle

Filled with RPT_LAYOUT.TITLE

ppLabelSubTitle

Filled with RPT_REPORT.SUB_TITLE

ppLabelUserTitle

Filled with RPT_USER_SPECIFIED_VERSION.USER_TITLE

ppLabelDateRange

Displays a description of the WHERE clause for a single programmer-flagged date column. (Flagged by setting TField.Tag to 1.)

ppLabelUserName

Uses the user's LAN ID to find an ID_EMP. Then uses the ID_EMP to find the user's full name.

ppLabelReportID

The report ID is the concatination of the layout, report, and version keys in the format: 99-99-99.

The reporting module looks for these label names at run time. If found the label's caption is replaced, if not found the caption is set to the null string.
