Unfortunately this is a known problem with UTF8.

There is a limit on the length of all verb objects of 32k bytes.

With UTF8, the reporting server switches into character semantics mode, and
every character is represented by 3 bytes, instead of one.

So, say you have an A4000VB field, and you do a CHECK FILE on it, you'll
see that it actually has a total length of about 12000 bytes. This means that
by even using two fields of this length, you're already at the 32k limit.
3*12000=36k and the FOC098 will occur.

This limit is to be lifted in release 7.7.0.

I'm now connecting your case with the original problem report, and you
will be notified when the new release is available.
