Compress Destination LibraryThis command removes the deleted labels from the destination library.

Copy to DestinationThis command copies the selected labels from the source libraries to the destination library.The system uses the following criteria to determine label numbers:

If there is no label in the destination library with the same label number as the label beingcopied, the label is copied with its original label number.

If there is a label in the destination library with the same label number as the label beingcopied, the label is copied with a new label number, which is assigned using the following

criteria: If there is an unassigned label number in the copied label's category in the destination

library, the system assigns the next available label number in that category.

If there is no unassigned label number in the copied label's category in the destinationlibrary, the system adds 5000 to the label number and copies the label. For example,label number 23 in the source library is copied to label 5023 in the destination library.

Label numbers above 5000 generate errors in PDS. The Validate commandreports any such label numbers in the Message Window.

Refer to Label Description Library for more information on label categories.
