RE: utl_file.put error

The default maximum number of characters per line for UTL_FILE.FOPEN is 1023.
When using repeatedly UTL_FILE.PUTS, it appends characters to the current output line, Oracle counts the the total number of characters per line written, and it seems, your program exceeded this maximum.

Either issue a UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE before you reach this limit,
(this will start a new line and reset our imaginary internal character
counter)
or use an overloaded UTIL_FILE.FOPEN version, which allows you to set the maximum number of characters per line explicitly.

Excerpt from oracle documentation:

 UTL_FILE.FOPEN (
   location IN VARCHAR2,
   filename IN VARCHAR2,
   open_mode IN VARCHAR2,
   max_linesize IN BINARY_INTEGER -- up to 32767 characters per line
(including the new line character)

 );
