List,

I am feverishly working on migrating and converting several COBOL programs 
from VSE (mainframe) to iSeries. One problem I've come up against is a 
program that produces a report with a print line greater than 132. COBOL/ILE 
allows it and it compiles fine, but at run-time I get a message about 
truncation and I see in the report that the print line truncated at 132 
characters.

Here are the COBOL definitions:

000990 INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
001000 FILE-CONTROL.
001010     SELECT PRINT-FILE1 ASSIGN TO PRINTER-QPRINT.
001020 EJECT
001030 DATA DIVISION.
001040 FILE SECTION.
001050 SKIP3
001060 FD PRINT-FILE1
001090     RECORD CONTAINS 133 CHARACTERS.

So what do I need to do to get a program to print a report with a print line 
wider than 132?  TIA!
