CLI response unfortunately abreviated

RouterOS Scripting

Remote management with perl, telnet and/or ssh
In response to many CLI commands, the varables of interest are abreviated.
Is there a way to prevent this?
example

  > in wi scan 0 duration=5
      ADDRESS           SSID         BAND   CHA.. FREQ SIG   NF SNR RADIO-NAME
AB R  02:0C:42:65:0A:C3 Broadband... 5ghz-n 20mhz 5240 -72 -120  48 [b]Tipperar...

Here critical information is lost: SSID and RADIO-NAME

RTFM:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Console_login_process

suggests appending control to login name like “admin+c80w”
does not work -
apparently remote ssh and local Microtik exchange information about terminal width and lines are truncated accordingly
I am trying to run a script = no terminal so width apparently defaults to 80 characters
I want width to be set wide enough to prevent truncation.
How?

I defined xterm180 like xterm but width 180 charcters
set TERM=xterm180
same results from ssh script
lines truncated around 80 characters.
