QUICK 132 COLUMNS

[CHUCK_LOWE]

We need to use a quick screen with 132 columns.  The ref books do not exactly explain this. 
We are on PowerHouse version 8.49D1 and HP MPE/iX ver C.70.00.  And we are using Minisoft ver 5.3 that support 132 columns (and more)

Thanks in advanced!

Quick supports 132 columns, at least it does with Open VMS and HP/UX.  There is a SET statement to do this if I remember correctly.

Thanks.  There is no option on the SET statment in QUICK (Qdesign).  I tried to search the Web and found no help there.  HELP !!!!!! ???

Hi,

As I recall, you need to add syntax to the SCREEN statement to indicate widths other than 80 in a quick screen.  In QDESIGN, try something like:

SCREEN xxxx WIDTH 132

If that doesn't work, check the correct syntax in the documentation.

Best regards,

MF.

I  am not currently working on MPE, but if I remember when I used to do this, I sent the MPE screen width command immediately before calling the 132-col screen and then  sent the command again for 80 after screen exit.

You may also need the FROM ... TO options in the QDESIGN SCREEN statement.

The syntax you need is...

SCREEN ... FROM 1,1 TO 23,132

You may also need other options e.g.

MESSAGE ON LINE 24
WINDOW ON LINE 1

etc.
