VM/CMS 6 Terminal characteristics

[chbirr01]

Hi all
is anyone outthere who knows a way on how to find out the actual screen size of a terminal ? I searched control blocks, copy books and maclibs but no joy. Via RDEVBLOK I'll get the controlchars and # of columns and a bit more - I need # of columns and # of rows; or is there a way to get the typeterm and model number, eg 3277-2A, 3278-4. Any ideas ?

Addendum
 VM must know about the terminal characteristics for it places its command input and status line (VM READ, RUNNING etc.) always on the last line of the screen, regardless of 3278 Model 2,4 or 5

EDIT uses Diagnose 83 to determine the screen size in DMSEDX, starting at 00323000.
