RE: Display problem

[Bob Cozzi <BobCozzi@xxxxxxx>]

The way it's supposed to work is that the display size that is first, takes 
priority. That is if *DS4 is specified before *DS3 on the DSPSIZ keyword, 
it supposed to recognize it. There is a DSPMOD keyword as well, perhaps 
somebody else has got that to work.

What I do is call a C program that looks at the job control block and reads 
the "I'm in 132 mode" setting. I wrote this a while ago, but since then, 
IBM has shipped an API in the DSM library that does the same thing. It 
works the same way (I know, because I gave the author of DSM a code 
snippet.)  I don't recall the name of that API, but once you know the 
current display mode, you can open a display file that has the proper mode 
listed first in the DSPSIZ keyword. I know this means two displays files, 
but that's how I get my stuff to work.

Is there another way that works today, people? I hope so, let me know.
