INGDB2 TERM add a possibility to define a User value for the LIMIT keyword

With DB2 9.1 message DSNV514I is new.
DSNV514I DISPLAY THREAD OUTPUT CONTINUED (CMDID=command_id)
explaination:
A -DISPLAY THREAD command output directed to an MVS console is
continued.
This output is linked to the group of -DISPLAY THREAD messages
terminating with a DSNV513I message with the same CMDID value.
it depends on a new 'LIMIT' keyword in the DIS THREAD cmd.
LIMIT accepts numeric input that specifies the number of lines of output
that is desired. The default limit is 512, so you must use the limit keyword if you want to set a different limit.
If you select LIMIT(*), all output that can be properly formatted within internal storage constraints will be displayed.

The DB2 sample database ues INGDB2 TERM command 2 times as shutdown phase 2 and 3. Because the default Limit have the value 512.

But we don't like to use a second INGDB2 TERM &SUBSAPPL as an extra phase to save time during shutdown.
We would like to have a possibility to define a User value for the LIMIT keyword i.e. LIMIT(800).
