Tom, Are you doing this with ISPF on v1.10 or an earlier version of z/OS? I ran into the problem with 1.10 after using 65x200 just fine on 1.9. When I started testing with v1.10, it stopped working. When I backed the screen size down to 65x160, it worked okay with v.10. Mark T. Regan, K8MTR CTO1 USNR-Retired (1969-1991)

I have an RCF open for this: FWIW, I have been happily using 90x142 since you mentioned it. I got to wondering how big I could go, so I tried 120x160 and got: ISPI001 Invalid screen size. The width cannot exceed 160 and the depth cannot exceed 62 I have determined that 102x160 works and 103x160 does not. 115x142 works and 116x142 does not. 102x160 is 16,320 bytes. 115x142 is 16,330 bytes. It seems that ISPF allows 16K (16384 bytes) for the screen buffer. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
