At compile time, colons are automatically appended to side labels for static widgets. To
create side labels without colons, compile the r-code with -nocolon in
effect. Running OpenEdge with -nocolon does not affect precompiled
procedures. Side labels created by code that was not compiled with -nocolon
in effect will include colons even if the current session is running with
-nocolon active.
