I have an RCF open for this: Thanks for correcting my liberal use of the word "official". Nothing documented is ever official and an APAR can be opened as a doc error even when you think it is official. :-) > ><RCF> >In ISPF User's Guide Volume II, under Screen Format there are two errors: > >http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ispzu270/2.1.2 > >1.

The upper limit of 62x160 was removed in z/OS 1.9 ISPF. ></RCF> > Thanks. I happen to be running on 1.9 here, so I guess I'll live with the MXI "annoyance" (I don't expect Rob to fix the freeware version) and continue to use 68x142 since it is supported.
