CAUSE:
The code includes a DISPLAY statement in the OUTPUT. The DISPLAY statement creates a frame with a default maximum width of 320 characters.
FIX:
Avoid using the DISPLAY in the output
eg.
DEF VAR mychar AS CHARACTER FORMAT "x(321)".
mychar = FILL('*', 321).
DEFINE STREAM mystream.
OUTPUT STREAM mystream TO file1.txt.
PUT STREAM mystream mychar.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
