Problem:

I would like to use a vt220 emulation with some full screens with 132 columns and others full screens with 80 columns.

Resolution:

It is necessary to use the Micro Focus function cobtermmmode.

And also the compiled terminfo files must be right.

If the parameter of cobtermmode is validated to 1 the size of the screen is 25*132

If the parameter of cobtermmode is validated to 0 the size of the screen is 25*80

An example is attached .

In visual COBOL you can create a runtime.cfg file and add the following parameters

SET Screen_Lines=60

SET Screen_Cols=132

This will get the system to display a larger text screen.
