The settings here control the appearance of the Report procedure with a Label layout generated by the Label Wizard. These settings can be saved for use in other future applications.
Procedure
Procedure Name
Enter a name that the Label Wizard will use to generate procedure names in your application. The template macro symbol, %FileName, is required, and extracts the Dictionary file name for each file selected by the wizard. You can modify this line with other template macros and text if you wish. No spaces are allowed in procedure names. This name is used for files that have no keys defined
Proc. “With Key” Name
This prompt is similar to Procedure Name, but is used for designated files that have a key (or keys) defined in the Dictionary Editor.

Text that is entered on this line will be used as the description of the report's progress window, and appear in the progress window's title bar.
