Comment:

I would like to prepare a scripts for writing a string (longer than 255 chars) into a file. However, a error prompted due to 'element too long'.
Script:
write d_file f$extract(0,256,content)
Error:
%DCL-W-TKNOVF, command element is too long - shorten

Then, I tried to use 'write/symbol' instead of just 'write'. However, another error is prompted.
Error:
%DCL-W-PARMDEL, invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special characters

Please help. Thanks.
