The screen height setting does not affect the way the system displays menus. The screen height setting controls the way the system displays information that results from your use of the menus, such as when you request statistical summaries.

You can configure the screen height to be between 20 to 200 lines or zero

(0)for infinite; the default is 24. Most terminal screens have a height of 24 lines.

Each time the screen output reaches the designated screen height, you are prompted to press a key to display more information. To receive no prompts, set the screen height to infinite (0). At this setting, however, the screen output might scroll beyond the screen, depending on your screen size.

To set the screen height:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system screenHeight

You are prompted for a screen height value.

2Enter the screen height in lines (20 to 200). To receive no prompts, set the screen height to infinite (0).

Example:

Enter new screen height or 0 for infinite height [24]: 60

Your are prompted about whether you want this value to be the default.

3Enter y (yes) to use this screen height as the default for future Administration Console sessions. Enter n (no) if you want this screen height to be in effect only for this session.
