Well, I started with EAM cards and I prefer RECFM=VB, LRECL=255.

The 3278-5 and the 3290 have been around for about three decades.

I don't recall anything with that size; the 3290 was a maximum of 160
across. Of course, you can always define custom screen sizes in your 3270
simulator, but then you can do substantially more than 162 across.
