Re: Using DSPSIZ keyword

Not sure if this is what you are looking to do..?

Message window 80/132 
<http://www.martinvt.com/SQL_-simple-/SQL_Msg_Window/sql_msg_window.html>

I suspect you are looking to also have the data "fit" on both 80 & 
132?    I think I might consider having a pair of subfile/control 
records with a c-spec like this:

    If WinSize = 80;
        exfmt WIN80;
    else;
        exfmt WIN132;
    endif;

(Message window shows a way to know the screen's size.)
