I am trying to get a wide screen in ISPF. I expect it is my ISPF settings since I am having the same problem with 2 different 3270 emulators.
If I want to get a 132 column wide screen, what is the setting that I should specify? I tried setting terminal characteristics from option 0 to:
Should I be specifying a different terminal type?
I tried editing a file via option 2 that is 255 characters wide and I only see 0-72.
Can I get a screen wider than 132?
Apart from changing the screensize on the Settings(0) panel, you also need to change your emulator (pcomm or HOD) to refer to the wide size screen.
In PCOMM, it is the screensize parm; i.e., Screensize=43x155 gives you 43 lines, each with 155 bytes long.
A similar setting is available for HOD. You need to make a change and then log back in to see the screen size change.
