VMS Help  —  ACCOUNTING  /WIDE  Description
    This qualifier corrects a problem that users have had with
    ACCOUNTING reports: the Buffered I/O and Direct I/O fields were
    too small and displayed asterisks (*)  when numbers exceeded 8
    characters.

    The /WIDE qualifier changes the widths of the Buffered I/O and
    Direct I/O fields in reports to 10 characters.

    When used with the /BRIEF qualifier, it displays the trailing
    colon of long device names in the SOURCE field.

    The /WIDE qualifier in conjunction with /BRIEF qualifier is
    used to display 9 characters of the SOURCE field. The /WIDE
    qualifier extends the width of display to 81 characters
    irrespective of the current terminal width and the type of
    process, that is, whether the process is interactive,
    non-interactive, or batch process.
