Ah well, I have a 30", 2560 pixel wide screen, 256 chars on a single line is possible, if the font is not too large ... Rolf wants german SKR4 account codes and these are 6 or 8 digit numerical codes, but that fact does not help since other users may have (miss-) used the account code field with longer codes.
