It's easy to check to see if a user's session is configured to support 27x132 columns. Below is an example program that checks to see if a user's session supports 27x132.

In your 27x132 program, make the display file USROPN. Then prior to opening the display file, call the below program. If the answer comes back 'N', exit the 27x132 program.

     h dftactgrp(*NO) actgrp(*NEW) option(*SRCSTMT)
       
     fCF005RP   cf   e             workstn


     d CanDisplayHandle132Columns...
     d                 pr                  extpgm('CF005R')
     d  answer                        1a


     d QsnQryModSup    pr            10i 0 extProc('QsnQryModSup')
     d  mode                          1a   const
     d  modeAllowed                   1a   options(*OMIT)
     d  llhandle                     10i 0 const options(*OMIT)
     d  error                        16a   options(*varsize:*OMIT)

     d DS4_MODE        c                   '4'
     d MODE_ALLOWED    C                   1

      // Begin MAINLINE
      //   following PI replaces *ENTRY PLIST
     d CanDisplayHandle132Columns...
     d                 pi
     d  answer                        1a
      /free
         answer = 'Y';
         if (QsnQryModSup(DS4_MODE:*OMIT:*OMIT:*OMIT) <> MODE_ALLOWED);
           answer = 'N';
           exfmt message;
         endif;
         *INLR = *ON;
         return;
      /end-free

The screen CF005RP can contain a message with instructions on how to reconfigure your emulator along with the phone number for your helpdesk.
