Hi Gary,
This is a common question.
The DDS does not specify the report width, this is specified on the CRTPRTF
command.
So you need to tell the Report Designer this information and it will
remember it in a special comment.
In Report Designer just above the design area is the Report Controls
sections where you can create a report and specify which records you want
to include. On the Report Tab in the Page Size section you can specify the
number of columns in your report.
(I recognize that Darren already answered the question, before I had time
to finish this reply, but I am sending it anyways, for background design
rationale. Thanks Darren for being such a great asset to this list).

Jeff,
I must be extra slow today.
I have selected the three record formats I want, and have font to:
Name: Arial monospaced for SAP
Size: 6
When I return to the Design tab, the font appears to be changed as
requested, but the screen design area ends at 132.
I would like the design area to "extend" on the right to column 198
and show the rest of the heading and detail records, but don't yet
know how to do that ?
This is an existing report created long before RDP, so I know the
DDS is correct, the problem is my inexperience using RDP report design.
Thank you.

Gary,
You can set the forms width in the Design Reports window.
Select 1 or more formats then click Add.

I can use the Configure Preferences button on the top right of the
Design reports view and select "Arial monospaced for SAP" from the
Font Settings section of the DDS Design window, but when I type 6 into
the Size: window and click the OK button and return to the Design Tab,
Font Size: shows 8 ?
Ok, maybe I live with that, so next I want to adjust the width of the
Design screen to show
198 columns to match the report I want to change, but have yet to find
how to do this ?
