* Output Length longer than 255
*
* You can use the length specification in WRITE (or ULINE) to extend the
* output length of an extra-wide list up to the value of LINE-SIZE. If
* you want to output a whole field that is longer than 255 characters,
* you must use this, even if the field itself is defined as longer than
* 255 characters.
*
* Too bad you can't print although you can view the list.
