Hi,
I wanted to have a look at modifying the d_mailing_labels object that Tessi uses in the User Defined Object From a List. From what I understand of the documentation and hunting around on TASK, when you select something like a label, it:
a) Looks up the object in T_FORMAT_INFO.
b) Then (and this is not perfectly clear in the documentation), I presume it goes and finds the D object (say, d_mailing_labels) from userreports.pbl?
Where I'm running into problems is that I can't find a userreports.pbl in our User Reports folder. The only .pbl that contains those label objects in question is one called SampleFormats80.pbl.
I tried a quick test, just by making a copy of d_mailing_labels and calling it ud_mailing_labels and getting the T_FORMAT_INFO to point to it. It didn't work.
So my questions are:
1. Where is the .pbl that the existing label objects are stored in and that any custom label objects need to be stored in?
2. Has it been renamed from userreports.pbl to something else, or have I got something wrong?
And maybe at some stage, it would be great to see some documentation added that explains clearly where labels need to be located to be referenced by T_FORMAT_INFO?
Those documents were definitely missing the information you needed, which I have now added. My apologies for any inconvenience this cause. Thanks for helping me make the documentation better.
