>>Which IPCS display uses 143 columns? I thought IPCS used only 141.

>IPCS uses up to 136.  We did this already (but it was probably 2 years ago).

Nope. IPCS uses what it can get, it seems. I just see the proof in a verbx 
mtrace output row 60, column 157 for one message.

I must have missed the IPCS discussion 2 years ago. It was my understanding 
that IPCS reports are 'sort of' preformatted - so they may appear to only use 
14x columns. The verbx vsmdata report used to change its format depending 
on the width of the screen - definitely different layout for 80 column screens. 
Some reports didn't have the need to scroll to the right, others would always 
use at least 132 or thereabouts.
