    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). In order for the auto-fit feature to correctly calculate the column width, it uses information from the font and existing graphical environment. Since the IBM i has no available graphical environment, the auto-fit feature is not available when running cldownload directly on an IBM i. Therefore, we unfortunately have to decline this request.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.
