&PAGELENGTH
Syntax
&PAGELENGTH [numlines]
where:
numlines numeric value in the range 4 to 32767
Description
&PAGELENGTH sets the page length for lists that are displayed on the
screen before HP Desk issues a Press RETURN to continue request. If the
numlines parameter is omitted, the page length is set to the default for
the terminal in use, which is usually 24 lines. This does not work in in
the Calendar/Diary area. If you want to change the default page length
there, then you must use &DPAGELNGTH.

Example
&PAGELENGTH 20
Only 16 lines of text at a time will be displayed on the screen because
one line is taken up by the Press RETURN to continue prompt and three
lines at the top of the screen are used to display the last three lines
from the previous screen.
&PAGELENGTH 9999
This will effectively get rid of all the Press RETURN to continue prompts
as they will only appear at the end of each page (every 9999 lines in
this case!).
