number
Specifies the number of rows (lines) of output that can be displayed at one time for the display (output) terminal. number must be 0 or an integer from 5 through 512, where the special value 0 implies an infinite number of rows.
Usage
Set the current session’s display terminal has different display characteristics than the defaults. The special infinite value (0) is typically used when logging the output of a session from a remote machine since this will result in no pagination of output.
Example
The following commands set the length of the display to infinite and 33, respectively.
length 0
length 33
