I left out an important phrase in my reply. Also, I was incorrect on the
minimum number of columns required. I should've said
When using IPCS Option 1 (BROWSE) to display storage you need at least
136 columns if you want 32 bytes per line.
Note the new phrase and the corrected minimum number of columns. (See
the "z/OS V1R2,0 MVS IPCS User's Guide" subtopic 3.3.3 Storage Panel for
the correct minumum number of columns.)
Sample output when logged on with 136 columns follows. Mind the line wrap.
Note that column 1 is blank, there are three blank columns after each
eight byte address column, one blank column following the first vertical
bar, and one blank column preceding the second vertical bar. The total
number of bytes per row in this case is 136. (Some of the "blank"
columns are actually attribute bytes.)
********** Begin output with 50 rows and 136 columns **********

Huh? I read a *lot* of dumps with IPCS (more than my share) and I have
never needed more than 132 columns!
When you issue IPCS LIST to display storage, you get 32 bytes formatted
per line with an eight byte address column and a full EBCDIC portion to
the right enclosed in surrounding vertical bars. Each line occupies only
117 bytes. On a display with 132 columns, there is a significant amount
of "black" space to the right of each line. For example (sorry about the
wrap):
LIST 00. ASID(X'00A4') LENGTH(X'2000') AREA
ASID(X'00A4') ADDRESS(00.) KEY(0C)
00000000. 000A0000 000130E1 55555555 55555555 00FD5498 55555555
