how to get wider columns for Autorecode output

Art Kendall
autorecode output wraps longer input fields.
for example.

data list list /someString(a100).
begin data
"whatever"
"a very long response to a question"
"a very very long wordy response to a question"
end data.
autorecode variables =someString /into someCode /print.

produces
someString into someCode
Old Value                         New Value  Value Label
 
a very long response to a                 1  a very long response to a
question                                         1  question
a very very long wordy response       2  a very very long wordy response
to a question                                   2  to a question
whatever                                        3  whatever

is there a way to get something with wider output columns without posting the out put to a wrod processing program?
Old Value                         New Value  Value Label
 
a very long response to a  question                      1  a very long response to a question
a very very long wordy response to a question      2  a very very long wordy response to a question
whatever                                                           3  whatever

OR a way to get a blank line after every value.
something like
Old Value                         New Value  Value Label
 
a very long response to a                 1  a very long response to a
question                                         1  question

a very very long wordy response       2  a very very long wordy response
to a question                                   2  to a question

whatever                                        3  whatever

Found a workaround.
do not use /print.
use DISPLAY DICTIONARY. after the AUTORECODE.
manually edit the output listing to pull the columns wide enough.
