Data PS output truncation in AIX
folks;
i need help with a truncation problem in AIX when running "ps" command. when i run ps in SUN, i got the full output but when i run it in AIX the output is truncated. is there any arguments i can pass to give longer output so i can overcome the issue?

here's the detailsSmilieplease note the red color, that's where ps output ends in AIX)

"ps" output in AIX:

Use ps with parameter w, where w is the option to view new lines .
Exemple:
ps wwwwww PID

I have the same problem The "ww" parm does give me more output, but it still doesn't give me the "complete" output. I have a process that has a very very long list of parameters.

I am new to AIX. In Solaris I was able to use /usr/ucb/ps -auxvvww to get the "complete" output.

Thanks!
