There isn't any limit to the number of records, beyond the filePro limit of 
2 billion records per file.  The -RO flag has no effect on this.

You say this is in the output phase.  As a quick test, run the report 
without any processing ("-y none -z none") and see if this makes a 
difference.  If so, then there's probably something that your processing is 
doing, perhaps a getnext loop, which is causing the problem.

The "DN9" means:

     "D" - dreport, rather than rreport.
     "N" - the "network aware" version, because long ago where was
           an MS-DOS version which wasn't.
     "9" - the Windows native version, again to distinguish it from
           one of the no-longer-available MS-DOS versions.
