Amen to that, Bro!

Funny story. During last month's beta testing of an upcoming software release, it was discovered (by a participating early tester at a *large* government installation) that the software no longer worked _at all_ with a 24x80 screen. Nobody here ever noticed!

<FYI>
When logging on natively to TSO/E (not going through our Session Manager), I use 51x80 primary size and 62x132 alternate size.
When logging on via our Session Manager, I use 62x80 primary size and 62x132 alternate size.
In both cases, I set the ISPF Screen Format to "1. Data"
