Hi !

I am using DBACCESS on Digital Unix. Does anyone know, how to
redefine line width to produce output more than 80 characters.
I set my terminal to width of 132, I can see output of 132 chars/row
in any unix applications, but DBACCESS still wraps to 80 characters.
I don't have man page on DBACCESS.

Hi!

DBAccess does not display more than 80 characters on a line.
(You can read in DB-Access User Manual /3-9/)

I don't see a fold, but either a completely horizontal or vertical display
with DBACCESS under OSF1 on a DEC alpha, depending on the display being
greater than 80 chars across or not.

Curiously, the same query in the same window under ISQL does make
use of the entire width, and doesn't switch to single column output
unless the fields won't fit across the screen.
