Problem trying display report in 132 columns
Report detail lines wrap at 80 columns
Protermcap file is using xterm and a user modified version xtermw with 132 columns defined
One program uses stty to set the columns to 132, another is called to display the report, and another is used to set the columns back to 80 characters wide
CAUSE:
An intermediate program used to display the report was changing the terminal type used incorrectly. This caused the program to only display the report with a display of 80 characters wide.
FIX:
Use the following to set the number of columns to 132:
UNIX silent "stty cols 132".
TERMINAL = "xtermw".
PAUSE 1 NO-MESSAGE.
Use the following to set the number of columns back to 80:
UNIX silent "stty cols 80".
TERMINAL = "xterm".
PAUSE 1 NO-MESSAGE.
Query the terminal type to switch when appropriate:
i.e.
if terminal = "xtermw" then do:
/* switch with above code */
end.
