set map layer ReplayTable Label Position Below (orAbove/Left/Right)
is correct; it can apply to the all map. But
set map layer ReplayTable Label Object LabelID Angle 45
requires an Identificator after the ID. The angle keywork is part of the
subclause ID as the position in part of the clause Label. It means that each
object requires its own angle.
To make things more frustrating, the Position key word can also be used in
ID subclauses.
Why shouldn't it be the case with Angle? I guess because of the idea that
labels are mainly used for street naming and that the option of parallel
labels results into possible different angles for each label. I am not
defended MI, just trying to understand, and most certainly your query should
be put on the wish list (I have not checked v6.0 yet for that)

Subject: MI Setting label angles
I'm trying to use MapInfo 4.1 (for a legacy application) to rotate
labels.
A previous set of statements in my application is to set the label
orientation with:
set map layer ReplayTable Label Position Below (or
Above/Left/Right)
These are successful.
I then try to rotate the labels with:
set map layer ReplayTable Label Object LabelID Angle 45
print "Setting angle of label " & LabelID
the major difference from the previous statement being that if I try to
set the Angle argument for all labels as with the Position argument, I
get a pile of compiler errors (starting with "Incomplete or invalid
label sub-clause").
The "Setting angle" message appears when I run the application, so I
know that the Set Map statement is being executed. However, the labels
never rotate. Any idea why, or what I have to do to get them to
actually rotate?

P.S. Thank God that the next version of this application will be using
the ActiveX interface!
