Re: Subfile "move to top" function (132-col screen)

We I first got to my present employee...every screen was 80 columns...

I had a project a couple-three years ago, which originally spec'ed out
a report that the user would mark up, along with by a data entry
screen...

I asked why not beef up the screen with more info, so that the user
can see everything they need to make their decision...which cried out
for 132 columns.

It was a pretty decent fight between me and the BA to do the screen as
132 columns....I won eventually.

What funny is that now, just about every screen we're asked to create
and/or modify is requested to be 132 columns.

Glad to know I'm not the only person that thinks that a 132 screen comes
in handy on occasion.  I get screamed at (literally) every time I use
one because "132 is for printer files only and must never be used on our
system!"  Then why is in SDA...?  Is IBM just *trying* to get me in
trouble?  ;)

If real estate is an issue, have you considered a 132-column screen
instead of 80-column?
