- Always think of where you want the upper left hand corner of the window to be.
- Code this into the command like this:
...
POP_
...
UP FIELDS(#A #B #C #D) AT_LOC(
...
5 22) WITH_SIZE(*AUTO)
...
The WITH_SIZE(*AUTO) option tells LANSA to size the window to fill all the rest of the screen to the right of and below the AT_LOC row and column positions specified.
If you then invoke the screen painter, the result would look something like this - which may be considerably larger than you actually need.

By using the screen painter, you can reorganize the fields in the window into the form you want like this:
row 5
| Panel |
|---|
row 5 .................................................................................... |
...
col 22 ---- |

Now before exiting from the screen painter, and aided by the "G" (screen grid) painter action, observe that relative to the upper left hand corner of the window you can reduce the window width by about 6 characters and its length by about 5 lines.
- After exiting from the screen painter, the actual AT_LOC and WITH_SIZE parameters are re-written like this (figures shown are approximate and not actual):
...
AT_LOC(
...
05 22) WITH_SIZE(
...
55 19)
...
so you can quickly change them to be like this:
...
AT_LOC(
...
05 22) WITH_SIZE(
...
51 14)
Now, if the screen painter was run again, the result should be a nicely proportioned window with its upper left hand corner at row 5 position 22:
