VMS Help  —  ACCOUNTING  /WIDE
    Changes the width of Buffered I/O and Direct I/O fields in a
    report from 8 to 10 characters.

    When used with the /BRIEF qualifier, it increases the SOURCE
    field length to 9 characters resulting in a total display
    width of 81 characters for both interactive and non-interactive
    processes. By default, the display of the SOURCE field is
    truncated to 8 characters, which results in a total display
    width of 80 characters.

    Format

      /WIDE

1  –  Description 

    This qualifier corrects a problem that users have had with
    ACCOUNTING reports: the Buffered I/O and Direct I/O fields were
    too small and displayed asterisks (*)  when numbers exceeded 8
    characters.

    The /WIDE qualifier changes the widths of the Buffered I/O and
    Direct I/O fields in reports to 10 characters.

    When used with the /BRIEF qualifier, it displays the trailing
    colon of long device names in the SOURCE field.

    The /WIDE qualifier in conjunction with /BRIEF qualifier is
    used to display 9 characters of the SOURCE field. The /WIDE
    qualifier extends the width of display to 81 characters
    irrespective of the current terminal width and the type of
    process, that is, whether the process is interactive,
    non-interactive, or batch process.

      Without the /WIDE qualifier, the Direct I/O or Buffered I/O
      fields print ***** if the field overflows. With the /WIDE
      qualifier, these fields print correctly.

      If the /WIDE qualifier is not in conjunction with /BRIEF qualifier,
      the ":" in the SOURCE field is not displayed when the number
      of characters in the field exceeds 8 characters. With the /WIDE
      qualifier, it displays the complete SOURCE field for large devices.
