    length number

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

width

Configures the output for the displays width (number of columns/characters wide).
