Are you doing a SET REPORT DEVICE xxxxx  after doing the  SET PAGE WIDTH?

SET REPORT DEVICE tends to set width and length back to the default; in my 
experience it works better to do the SET PAGE WIDTH  after the SET REPORT 
DEVICE. I am not sure about the screen, I have had printed reports come out 
the wrong length because of this.
