I could not find the proper command to apply a label to files which are in my current view. I have tried the following command:

cleartool mklabel -r TEST_LABEL /vob/test/a

However, the problem is that this command will apply the "Test_Label" label to every files in the "vob/test/a" directories regardless of whether the files are in my current view.
Is there any command to apply label only to the files listed in my current view?

cleartool mklabel  -r(ecurse) LABEL_NAME <directory name>

This command will apply LABEL_NAME to all files in folder and below of your view, you can just go to that directory,then type following command to create and apply label

> cd /vob/test/a
> cleartool mklbtype –nc TEST_LABEL 
> cleartool mklabel  -r TEST_LABEL .
