Just in case it helps, we recently came across the problem in a DCL script.
Two possible solutions are:
1) Use write /symbol
2) Use multiple symbols, and don't interpolate them in quoted strings
For example, if
sym1="200 chars"
sym2="200 chars"
sym3="200 chars"
sym4="200 chars"
symx=sym1+sym2
then
write sys$output sym1,sym2,sym3,sym4
is OK, but
write sys$output symx
and
write sys$output "''sym1'''sym2'"
are not.
