Library /sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb  —  DECnet-Plus  DCL Commands, DIRECTORY  Qualifiers  /WIDTH
       /WIDTH[=(options[s])]

    Allows you to control the display width allotted to four elements:
    the entire display, file name, owner information, and file size.
    If you specify only one display-element option (option), you can
    omit the parentheses. The display-element options are as follows:

    DISPLAY[=n]    Controls the total width for a directory display.
                   You can make the width from 1 through 255 charac-
                   ters. However, if the total width of the display
                   exceeds the terminal width, the directory facility
                   truncates the display on the right side.

    FILENAME[=n]   Controls the width of the file-name field for a
                   brief directory display.

    OWNER[=n]      Controls the width of the owner field for a brief
                   directory display. If the owner information exceeds
                   the length of the owner field, the directory facil-
                   ity truncates the owner information on the right
                   side.

    SIZE[=n]       Controls the width of the size field for a brief
                   directory display.

    Default        o  Display: Terminal width
    value:
                   o  File name: 19 characters

                   o  Owner: 20 characters

                   o  Size: 6 characters
