But Brian did give you all you needed (even more I'd say) to solve that !?!? Please apologize if I use a bit frank language, but using R, you *really* are expected to read the documentation which is written pretty carefully {probably that's what some people don't like about it and call "confusing" ??}. Specifically, Brian said BDR> 200 columns will take far more than 250 characters. The help says and then pointed you to the docu for options(width = .). I think you need to reread that paragraph, particularly the word 'character' and then you will understand that your original approach of using options(width = 250) can *not* be what you want if your dataframe has 200 columns.
