   What is the tool writing to SYS$OUTPUT?  In a batch file, generally
   SYS$OUTPUT is the log file, unless it's been redirected to a mailbox,
   socket, or somewhere else by the tool or command file.

   If it's a mailbox or a socket, your probably trying to write a
   message bigger than the mailbox is sized for, or bigger than the
   limits set in TCP/IP (you did say you're using the HP, stack, IIRC).
   
   If it's the log file, or redirected to another file, then you're probably 
   trying to write a single record larger than what VMS opens log files for.
   I'm not sure, you might be able to affect that with a SET RMS command.
   Or you could be exceeding the RMS maximum record size, in which case
   you need to change the tool.

   And in all cases, updating the tool to break the write into smaller
   pieces is a possible solution.

   By comparison, I've never had a browser, ftp server, or ftp client
   choke on one of these, but I can't guarrantee I've tried the largest
   possible sizes.
