A label appears on the screen to provide information about its
associated field. If either an asterisk (*) or a plus sign (+)
appears to the left of a label, the label identifies a key field.
If an asterisk appears to the left of a label, the label
identifies a primary key field. For example, consider the
following label:
* EMPNUM ____
In this example, EMPNUM is the label for a primary key field.
