The CSIZE option enables you to change the displayed width
of columns.
About this task
This function is primarily intended for non-numeric data
where there are large blank areas in all (or most) rows in a given
column. Although the displayed width may change, the underlying data
does not change.
If a column's size is less than the column
maximum, it is possible that some date is not displayed. INNER COLUMN
SCROLLING and CEXPAND can be used to see data outside the display
range of the resized column.
Note: If the minimum and maximum column
widths are equal, the column cannot be resized.
To resize
