Description

If the value of the Auto_label_state property is true and the object is using a data dictionary, the column is assigned a header label from the data dictionary. When assigned from the data dictionary, a column's label will be assigned the field_label_short description from the appropriate DD field. If the short label is blank, the field_label_long is used. If the long label is blank, the field's tag name is used. This assignment occurs at compile time and not at run time. If a field's label is changed within a data dictionary, any program using its label (or any other DD attribute) must be recompiled.

Default is false.
