Depending on your version, there was an issue (APAR IJ21591 IJ21591: TABLE FIELDS DO NOT WRAP IN ALL APPLICATIONS AFTER APPLYING 7611 IFIX 002 (ibm.com)) where fields didn't wrap properly. If you're on 7.6.1.1 for example, you need to be on IFIX 05 or later to have the fix.
You also mentioned long description fields. I'm not sure if you were trying to reference long as in length or the actual "long description" fields. I would definitely avoid displaying the actual "long description" fields on a result set. With the HTML formatting and how that gets stripped out in this view, it's more clutter than usable.

Subject: List View: Limit field width?
MAM 7.6.1.2
In the WOTRACK list view, I'm trying to make it so all our important fields are visible - without scrolling to the right.
However, I'm finding that long description fields are making this difficult - there's not enough space to show all the fields that I want (without scrolling). And it doesn't help that description fields seem to expand dynamically - depending on how long the values are for the records in the current page of the resultset.
Is there a way to limit field widths in the list view (and cut-off or wrap long values accordingly)?
Thanks.
