Issue/Introduction

Customer is asking if it possible to change the resolution/screen size in the cics transaction from 80x24 to a higher one

Environment

Release : 15.0

Component : SYSVIEW

Resolution

Yes this is possible.  

It is really nothing specific to SYSVIEW, it would be similar for any CICS transaction I believe.

Portion of CNM4BSAM(CICSCSD) which is used at install time to add SYSVIEW tranid/program definitions to CICS:

* The transaction definition for SYSV specifies the PROFILE *

* GSVXALTS. This profile allows the SYSV transaction to run *

* as the alternate screen size. *

* *

* If you do not want the SYSV transaction to run as an *

* alternate screensize, remove the "PROFILE(GSVXALTS)" *

* parameter. *

* *

* Multiple transactions can be defined to run the GSVXCICS *

* program. One for primary and one for alternate screen sizes. *
