Hi Vern -

The ILE debugger will use 132 automatically if you are debugging a
different job (i.e. using STRSRVJOB) and the display supports it.

The ILE debugger will use 132 if you are debugging the same job and the
display supports it AND there is environment variable called ILE_DEBUGGER_1
with value of ALLOW_WIDE_SCREEN.

This could be done with a system environment variable which would apply to
everyone all the time (unless they created a job environment variable with
the same name and a different value).  I do NOT recommend this unless
discussed in advance with everyone who uses debug.

I put this into a nice command called SETDBG.  The key lines of the program
are:

To turn it on at the job level:

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR('ILE_DEBUGGER_1') +
          VALUE('ALLOW_WIDE_SCREEN') +
          LEVEL(*JOB) REPLACE(*YES)

To turn it back off at the job level:

RMVENVVAR ENVVAR('ILE_DEBUGGER_1') LEVEL(*JOB)
MONMSG CPFA981

The MONMSG is to trap the error message if the environment variable does
not exist.
