HW - Heading Width

With this session parameter you determine the width of a column output with a DISPLAY statement.

Possible settings ON The width of a DISPLAY column is determined by either the length of the heading text or the length of the field, whichever is longer.

Note:
This is true even if no heading text is output, either because the DISPLAY statement contains the keyword NOHDR or the DISPLAY statement is a subsequent DISPLAY (see also the DISPLAY statement).

OFF The width of a DISPLAY column is determined by the length of the field.

Note:
HW=OFF only applies to DISPLAY statements which do not create headers (that is, either a first DISPLAY statement with NOHDR option or a subsequent DISPLAY statement).
