Doug,
Something like this?
LABEL ON COLUMN ALPRICEBK
( APLOCAL1 TEXT IS 'Local code #1' ,
APPRICE TEXT IS 'Price including local taxes' ) ;
ALPRICEBK is the name of the table. APLOCAL1 and APPRICE are fields in the table.
I always use the iNav Database...Schemas...(Schema/Library name)...Tables (right click: New->Table) to create new DDL's.
And (Table) (right-click: Generate SQL...) to create the SQL source member for an existing table. Particularly helpful when moving from DDS to DDL.

Subject: Using meaningful names for table columns
I am creating a DDL for a new table, and have been going through the SQL
reference guide trying to figure out how I can give a field a more
meaningful name, sort of like how I do it in DDS. Is there a way to
define a column (field) with something like the TEXT('blah blah') that we
use in a DDS?
