If you look at the logon screen TSO4B4 is one of the prompts. I used TSO and that's better. The screen looks right -- not "skewed." But ISPF is not taking advantage of it: the screen is 24 x 80, even when ISPF editing a "wide" file. I'm getting closer -- what am I missing? Yes, I set Screen

Years ago, you needed a modetab (logmode) entry to match your 3270 screen size. I may have seen somewhere that there are some new ways to code a modetab capable to detect your screen size. Try at least with a logmode for a 3278-5, and make sure vista has the same line length. ISPF may

I never RESTORE/REJECT a usermod. I update the usermod with current FMID and REWORK date and reAPPLY. Here's an example for a console usermod, which has continued for years unchanged except the fields I mentioned. FMID updated for 2.1 to HBB7790. REWORK updated to then-current date 20141710.
