From the Installation Description menu, select Monitor and Adapter.
The Monitor and Adapter screen displays.BARR/RJE supports standard PC monitors and adapters. From the Monitor and Adapter screen, you can specify the type of monitor and monitor adapter installed in your PC. You can also select screen sizes for the OPER, DOS, SPOOL, and TAPE sessions you use during software operation. (If you have RJE+3270, the DLOGMOD host parameter controls the screen size for 3270 sessions.)
With many adapters you can specify a screen display size larger than the 25 rows by 80 characters normally used on the PC. BARR/RJE supports screen sizes of 43 x 80, 50 x 80, 44 x 132, and other choices for some adapters.
You must have a VGA adapter and monitor to use a 132-character display. PCs with built-in VGA adapters require a multiscan monitor to display 132 characters.
From the Installation Description menu, select Monitor and Adapter.
