Allows you to specify the minimum and maximum display widths for the various column types shown on the object list panel. All values are optional.

Min
Ensures that the display width is at least the value specified, even if there is no displayable data for the column in all rows processed. Specifying a minimum value does not prevent the display width expanding, if needed, to accommodate longer data.
Max
Limits the maximum display width to the value specified, even if data in some rows has a longer width. Specifying a maximum value does not prevent the display width being set to a smaller value, if no rows have data exceeding the value specified.

The following column types are available:

Databases
The name of a Db2® database or table space. The default minimum and maximum values are both 8.
Column names
The name of a Db2® column. The default minimum and maximum values are 8, 30.
Authorization identifier
A Db2® authorization identifier, for example the current SQLID. The default minimum and maximum values are 8, 16.
Object Names
The name of a Db2® object, such as a table, view or alias. The default minimum and maximum values are 8, 30.
Remarks
Applies to columns that are used to store data that is entered by using the COMMENT ON or LABEL ON statements. The default minimum and maximum values are 8, 60.
Other
Applies to any column that does not match the preceding types. The default minimum and maximum values are 8, 60.
Reposition to first matching row
This setting affects how data is displayed after you change the filter values for one or more columns. Use filters to limit the rows that are displayed. The default is not selected.

When you select this setting, the data that is shown after you change the filter values is repositioned to the first matching row.
