I don't think QsnRtvScrDim will do the job - think it returns the
current
dimensions for the screen (which could be *DS3 on a *DS4-capable
device),
not whether it supports *DS4. It's been years since I looked at the DSM
APIs
so I could be wide of the mark here.

Got this from one of Scott's articles. The Retrieve Screen Dimensions
(QsnRtvScrDim) API.

     D height          s             10I 0
     D width           s             10I 0
       .     
       .                                   
       QsnRtvScrDim( height        
                   : width         
                   : *omit         
                   : *omit );     

Good Luck...

I have a routine that requires the display size of 27X132.  

 

How can I capture the fact without going to the device that it is only a
24X80 terminal? 

 

What I want to do is to display a different screen telling them they
can't access that function do to the limitation rather than have it blow
up. 

 

TIA,
