(Regardless of the logmode, some software like Netview won't support
anything other than a 24x80 primary size. I have a special modified
version of Netview that gets around this restriction so long as the
primary screen size width is always 80.)

I think you do NetView a disservice. Are you sure you don't have a rather
more obscure - "functionally stabilised" I guess - product such as "Host
Command Facility" (HCF) in mind? Until I got a rudimentary CICS working on
my VTAM/NCP class systems, I used to have to use logons to HCF when I wanted
to be sure that only a single session would be involved. But still dredging
memory, the "such as" excludes HCF even, since that got stuck at the point
of accepting the X'7F' logmodes I seem to recall. HCF never achieved the
sunny uplands of supporting the X'03' logmodes.
Are there any who can defend NetView's honour who daily work with NetView?
It's Netview that has this restriction. If you want proof via FMID &
module name, the custom USERMOD provided by IBM Netview development to
support other than 24x80 primary screen size begins with:
++ USERMOD(ANSSIZE) /* 5697ENV00 */ .
++ VER (Z038)
FMID(HPZ8500) PRE(UA15444) .
++MOD (DSIPSQRH) DISTLIB(ACNMLINK).
This modification allows Netview to support primary screen sizes other
than 24x80 _provided_:
1) The number of display rows is 24 or greater
2) The number of columns is _exactly_ 80.
This fix is better than nothing and far better than the default Netview
behavior. We did all we could to Q&A this change for them hoping it
might one day be incorporated into the base code. Unfortunately, that
hasn't happened yet. :-(
