Re: How to increase the width of pagesize

IIRC

For design records it is fixed 132 columns.

For design reports (a report is one or more records) you can set the page size (rows and columns).

I think you may have detected a shortcoming (bug?) in the Report
Designer tool within RDi.

I understand your issue - I can reproduce it myself. The Report Designer
allows you to specify a page width > 132, but the Design panel does not
allow you to scroll sideways beyond column 132.

Unless Steve Ferrell or others can enlighten us further, I think this is
a "feature" (limitation). Sadly I doubt it will get much attention, (it
must have always been thus). Using DDS to build reports - especially
wide ones - may be regarded as a minority activity these days.

I also found the following discussion from 2020, (it appears nothing has
changed):
https://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/202006/msg00041.html

Your only option would appear to be doing things the old-fashioned way.
Click on the Source tab and edit the DDS code for those items exceeding
the 132 limitation.

Brian.

I guess, I was not clear. The problem is when I edit the print file in Remote system explorer. I can’t view past column 132 in the design record even though the source has further columns, like column 180. There is a way to show the column to the right, I just can’t remember.

Pagesize of what? As seen how?

What PRTF did you recompile?

I can't figure out how to increase the width of the pagesize. It stays at
132. I compiled the print file with a bigger width, that did not work.

Thank you,
