On a non-CNTFLD field it did wrap on input - nice enough. Only problem is that the extra spaces at the end of one line become part of the field. And this happens when both CNTFLD and WRDWRAP are used, too - the field gets changed without user input! NASTY!
Another surprise (I think these are documented) is that you cannot insert if you are on the first character of the second line (the one after the wrap). I was able to insert when on the end of line 1, but as soon as I got to line 2, no more insert.
Have you had better luck with this? Have you had different results? I think the machine I used is at V5R2.

Rob, Or, if you want a real exercise in frustration, you can try submitting a > Design Change Request to come up with a similar keyword for DDS. Umm, how about if they call it WRDWRAP? Oh wait, they already did that. It's been in DDS for what, 12+ years now? IIRC, it got added when the so-called enhanced WS controllers were introduced and didn't that happen around V2 something? I'd hazard a guess that anymore there are very few 400's still running which have the older WS controller which doesn't support the feature. Various telnets client may or may not implement all the features of the enhanced 5250 data stream, but this is one of that I suspect pretty much all of them should support. There is also the BLDFOLD keyword for output only fields, but for input/output fields you want to use WRDWRAP and CNTFLD too if it inside a window or the the left edge of subsequent lines should start in something other than column 1.
