      [WHILE <bWhile> ] [FOR <bFor> ] [SAMPLE] [NOCONSOLE]

 Arguments

        <cLabelName>     Name of label file    

        <cFile>          Name of an alternate file    

        <cScope>         Expression of a scoping condition    

        <bWhile>         WHILE condition    

        <bFor>           FOR condition    

 Description

      This command allows labels to be printed based on the format outlined
      in  .LBL file specified as <cLabelName>. By default, output will go
      to the  screen however this output may be rerouted with either the
      TO PRINTER or  the TO FILE clause.

      If the TO FILE clause is specified, the name of the ASCII text file
      containing the generated labels will be <cFile>.

      If no file extension is specified a .TXT extension is added.
      <cScope> is the scope condition for this command. Valid scopes
      include  NEXT <expN> (number of records to be displayed, where
      <expN> is the number  of records), RECORD <expN> (a specific record
      to be printed), REST (all  records starting from the current record
      position,and ALL (all records).  The default is ALL.

      Both logical expression may work ill conjunction with one another
      where  <bFor> is the logical expression for the FOR condition (for
      records to  be displayed whitin a given value range) and <bWhile>
      for the WHILE  condition (for records to be displayed until they
      fail to meet the  condition).

      If the SAMPLE clause is specified, test labels will be generated.

      If the NOCONSOLE clause is specified,the console will be turned off
      while  this command is being executed.

      This command follows the search criteria outlined in the SET PATH TO
      command. The path may be specified, along, with (the drive letter,
      in  <cLabelName>
