Re: Using DSPSIZ keyword

I tried 27x132, but switched back. The resolution changed.


I think the usual emulators can do either, but the configuration has to support the 27x132 to display it without an error.


At my last job, I couldn't depend on people having 27x132 configured, and they'd bomb if they weren't configured to display it. In most cases, I coded to 24x80 unless there was a reason to go bigger, and then I'd check if the station allowed 27x132 before opening the display file. If it didn't, I'd call a warning window to tell them to get their configuration changed if they needed this application (a lot of them were engineers who would do it themselves.)


For a few things, I coded two different display files (LISTSQL has two because it composes the screen on the fly based on available space) but it is too much overhead for a routine solution.

Haven't had to do this in I don't remember how long. There are still
devices out there that can't display 27x132?
