Use a user-opened display file with the open statement inside a monitor section. When it is not a 132 wide screen, the on-error section should be called and you can call a CL or other such program to display an error. (You can't use a screen record in that same display file because it won't open--it wants 132!)

That's been my experience, and as a matter of course I place that monitor section near the top of my programs which require 132. I have a separate CL that displays a little warning box explaining the error to the user. They can press a function key to continue, and voila, no errors or system messages blow up in their faces: they are simply returned to the previous program/menu they were in.
