The TERMINAL SCRSIZE setting controls how TSO line-mode
terminal housekeeping is performed. Fullscreen applications
are free to use an available screen size different from the
one used by line-mode TSO. Of course, many fullscreen apps
use GTSIZE to ascertain the line-mode screen dimensions
and then proceed to use this size also. And then some apps
use GTTERM to ascertain the primary and alternate screen
sizes that the terminal supports, and choose one without
inspecting the current line-mode screen size setting. And
then again, some apps just proceed on the basis that the
screen size is 24 by 80 without checking. Unless they have
fixed it fairly recently, SDSF does not handle large screen
sizes well (unless running as an ISPF application).

Cheers,
Greg
