    Anybody know how, or if, the size of the DS palette screen can be increased?? 

    Since a COBOL screen is limited to 80 characters, you have the same limitation  whether doing "quick paint" or "blank palette".  I've tried changing the width parameter in the first line " TOKEN=..." but that didn't work.  I'm trying to paint a screen that will be 100 characters wide.

    Any info would be appreciated

      Tim, I've found that you can change the numbers. The secret seems to be to click into another field in the properties window after you make your change but before you go back to the form image. For instance, I'll change the width from 80 to 90 then click into the height field. Works for me. You may also have to do it two or three times.

        Good evening.

        Could you explain further where you made this adjustment?  I looked under quick paint (all screens and subscreens) and could not find a column or heigh parameter.

          Kflores - After you quick paint the screen, you should have a 3 part form in design studio. On the left the UI Toolbox, in the middle your form image and on the right the properties box. Click on your form image, not on a field just the back ground, and you should see the height and width fields in the properties box.
