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.
