Displaying command using ps

When using the ps command to view processes I cannot see the name of the program being executed by a process because the COMMAND field does not display enough characters. The COMMAND field in the ps command seems to truncate at maximum 60 characters and I can find no way of extending this using the options to ps. The program being executed is preceded by a long path, hence why it exceeds 60 characters.

Anybody know of a way to extend the COMMAND field width in ps, or an alternative way of displaying the command being executed by a UNIX process? (HPUX v11.00)

Regards,
Scott.
