Using SMSQ I presume from the implication in your email that SMSQ does and always will return 'HBA' for VER$ ? yes If so, then scr_xlim and scr_ylim are correct for what I need. If not, then DJToolkit can check to see if these functions exist before calling them : if CHECK('scr_xlim) then

You know how Norman Dunbar said... You know how I said that ... MAX_CON in DJToolkit isn't what I'm looking for :o) Well, I was wrong. It works a treat ! As SS2 uses the PE, and cannot be used without it, I can call MAX_CON to get the maximum allowable height width for any scr or con

I am now looking for a method that allows me to interrogate the SCREEN width and depth(ie not an opened channel width depth - which I can easily get from the channel definition block), but those defined as being the maximum allowable for any channel being opened to the screen (ie CON_ or SCR_).
