[fw-general] disabling paging in output contexts

[scs]

Hi,
I have an html report that has paging. It list 100 records in every page.
I added an excel report to this action and need to disable the paging feature
in excel output/context.

But I am not sure if there is a better way.

Something like this or a better way? :
//get format param from request
...
if ($format != 'excel') {
    $page=$this->_getParam('page', 1);
    $paginator = Zend_Paginator::factory($rows);
    $paginator->setItemCountPerPage(100);
    $paginator->setCurrentPageNumber($page);

    $this->view->applications = $paginator;
} else {
    $this->view->applications = $rows;
}

Thanks
scs
