No wait, I'm NOT limiting myself like you mentioned, except during
logon. Immediately thereafter, ISPF switches dynamically to the 60x160
size (you have to specify max on option 0). It's been doing this just
fine for oh, let me think, at least 20 years I've been doing this. Ever
since the days of the "universal" logmode (query bit) if I remember right.
So your apar isn't really buying you anything that I can see, except
maybe during logon. Just use a query bit, no alternate screen size
logmode (like D4A32XX3) and you won't have any problems during your ISPF
session. Oh and of course, change your emulator to actually report to
the query a large screen size.

I just looked at your PMR and I believe the reason I have never run
into this is because the D4A32XX3 logmode does NOT specify an
alternate screen size, therefore TSO defaults to 24x80 during logon,
and works ok. I think your logmode specifies an alternate screensize
and so you are running into the problem that you describe.
Exactly! You're limiting yourself to a 24x80 primary screen size. I'm
using a *much* larger size. For example, I use 62x80 when editing
assembler language source code or JCL and 62x132 (though I'm now
considering increasing that to 62x136 or even 62x142 based on other
comments) for viewing reports, operlog, etc.
Though TSO/E supports very large screens, and -- with OA16111/ANCAS24
-- even supports query of sophisticated 3270 emulators that allow
*both* primary and alternate sizes to be specified by the user,
getting past the logon screen with a primary size larger than 51x80
was an issue that will be solved by OA17477.
