LWWIDTH [n|?] LW
Related command: SZONE
LWWIDTH (= logical window width) determines the logical window width, i.e. the maximal line width that would be displayed if the physical window was wide enough. All the records that are longer than LWWIDTH are presented in subsequent lines. A record with 200 bytes would take four lines if LWWIDTH had the value 60. The last line would then contain the last 20 bytes of the record.
If you want to avoid subsequent lines in your window, you can make the rests of the records disappear on the right by applying LWWIDTH properly.
The default setting of LWWIDTH is chosen in such a way that all the data of the workfile are visible in the window or become visible when you leaf through the file. As a consequence, subsequent lines are used if necessary.
The default value of LWWIDTH depends on the physical window width and the value of SKEY (compare SKEY):
If you change the value of SKEY, LWWIDTH
adjusts to it automatically, so that the entire window width is used:
A window with a physical width of 80 and SKEY = 6
has for LWWIDTH the value 73; with
SKEY = 0 the value of LWWIDTH is 79.
If you enter the command LWWIDTH without parameters,
the default value of LWWIDTH regarding the current
value of SKEY is adopted. For example, a physical
window width of 80 and SKEY = 0 combined with
the command LWWIDTH alone result in a value of 79.
The parameter `?' displays the current
value of LWWIDTH.
