I have used 84x160 (under PComm) and now we've been migrated to Attachmate's Reflection 2014, I use 82x160, because Attachmate's font handling isn't quite as good as PComm - although it offers a wider choice. Both in PComm and in Reflection, I remove all the window decorations (using the TouchUX and Windows Full Screen in Reflection) and have the Windows task bar auto-hide to give me a very retro 100% full screen mainframe view. Makes the font sizes larger too - I've said to a number of people who comment on the font size that it's no smaller than most Word docs or email messages..
My one bugbear is products that don't support screen sizes greater than 24x80 - someone mentioned Control-M, and that was certainly one of them that causes me issues. Xpediter/TSO is another, I had to raise an issue with Compuware because it corrupted my display with a large screen, so they wrote a fix...which prevents you starting Xpediter if your screens size is bigger than 62x160 - No, that's not what I wanted Compuware!

I use a custom 60x160 which seems to be the norm in our office. Lots of the tools we use, especially debuggers like z/XCD and DebugTool work much better with that model. I use RDz for development but for most stuff fall back on the green screens like SDSF and tools that don't have a good GUI, which is 90% of them. What screen size do you use? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Lloyds Banking Group plc.
