Reading the manuals would help tremendously:

set head off

Turns off the heading entirely.

set pagesize <some number here greater than 14>

Reduces the number of headers you get because you usually print them at the top of a page.

set termout off

Turns off the terminal output when running a script. This is good for dumping data to a file.

Again, this is ALL found in the documentation at:
