Terron,
I've tried soooo many tricks! Using environment variables ROWS, COLUMNS
after altering my screen window. Nothing helps. Methinks the screen
size of 80x24 (how quaint ;-) is hard coded into dbaccess.
The only way I have been able to do this is by running the SQL statement
in an ACE report, which seems to assume a wider display (132) by
default.
