shift to 132 columns

[gregor weertman]

How do I tell Progress that I shifted to 132 columns
in order for progress to use them?
My screen has 132 columns but progress uses only 80 and displays a scrollbar.

please help.

gregor,
are u using a display statement and the default progress frame? if so, it may be because of the way progress likes to do things it's own way. you may wnat to try defining your own frame.

regards,

longhair

When I put the screen on 132 with: display chr(27) + "[?03h" en run

repeat:
display fill( "X", 100) format "X(100)" with down width 132.
end.

I will get a scrollbar and only 80 columns are used by Progress.

gregor,

you can try creating your own frame rather than using the default progress one.

def frame f-1.

repeat:
display ... with frame f-1
end.

it's the TERMINAL variable.

In my case it's vt220.
when I put it on vt220w
progress checks the protermcap and sends the correct
esc seguence to the console which puts it on 132 columns.
It also checkes the TERMINAL var when creating a frame.
when it is vt220w(ide) it makes 132 column frames when
asked. On the normal vt220 it creates a scrollbar of 80
columns when asked for a 132 columns frame.

Hi,
Use the TERMINAL statement. Make shure your PROTERMCAP has the definitions for the terminal emulations you want to use.
Example from the dynatext documentation.

FOR EACH customer:
DISPLAY customer.
END.
TERMINAL = "wy60w".
OUTPUT TO TERMINAL PAGED.
FOR EACH customer:
DISPLAY customer WITH WIDTH 132.
END.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
TERMINAL = "wy60".
DISPLAY "Back to 80 columns." WITH CENTERED.
