You don't give enough info to properly answer your question!!
Remember, bug reports need:
	machine, op sys, version, etc.

It looks like your're running RT-11 (from the file name DK:MAP)
in which case the error message means what it says, you ran out
of file space for that file and wrote past the `end'.  RT-11 uses
a contiguous file space allocation mechanism, and the maximum size of
write files is determined upon open (.ENTER).  If you are not running
that on RT-11, I don't know what it means.

   OK, it is OSMI Pascal running on RT-11 Version 4.0.  We have a PDP-11/23.
They have an error call write past eof.  Yes I said write.  I seems to happen
if you run out of disk space or didn't open your file.  I would be intreasted
in the real meaning of this error.  It is listed in the documentation as one
of the error but I can't find a discription of what it means.
