ksh: /usr/bin/ls: arg list too long

I am using IBM AIX unix version 4.3.3.0.

In a directory there are many files with different patterns.
When I am trying to execute the command, ls -l with the file pattern, which have fewer files it gives the desired result. However when I am trying to execute the same command for file pattern, which have more files, it gives error like below.

command : ls -l *CHEQ*.pdf
ksh: /usr/bin/ls: arg list too long

Is there any alternative to solve this problem ?
