Configuring the Display Length 
SAPDBA uses 24 lines and 80 columns for the screen display. You can, however, lengthen or shorten the display if required by your screen. If, for example, you choose to use fewer than 24 lines for the screen display then some of the SAPDBA will no longer be displayed completely. However you can display lists correctly.
To select a different screen display size, set the following environment variable (operating system specific) before you start SAPDBA:
LINES <Number of lines in the screen display>
COLUMNS <Number of columns in the screen display>
Also make sure that you set the variable
TERM correctly for your terminal type.
