You can have more then one field at a time displayed. In the labels, choose functions
and add col1 + col2 +... Since you want to see the text with a separator, you should
use a blank space like col1 + " " +col2 + " "+...
You can even put them on separate line using chr$(13) to use as carriage
You can make variance like in the following exemple to add a description of the fields

Can be done! I try the following procedure and it worked.

You can use SQL SELECT and choose
Where condition : ID mod 2 And ID > 32 and ID < 49 for the ODD
or where condition ID <> (ID mod 2) And ID > 32 and ID < 49 for EVEN
You can use your Mapbasic windows to make (or see the result) of those queries
Select * from Outlets where ID mod 2 And ID > 32
Correction - I should have said for EVEN in where condition : not (ID mod 2)
