Most likely cause is that the paper size (or page size i.e. media  
bounding box) specified in the PDF is not wide enough to show all the  
data. Other possible cause is that the font has not been scaled to  
fit the paper size.

If you open the PDF file in text editor you should be able to see  
whether all the data is present. I'm fairly sure WRKCGISPLF does not  
compress the data stream so it should be legible in plain text.  If  
each line of data is complete in the PDF then the problem is caused  
by incorrect paper size of incorrect font size. If the data is  
truncated then the problem is in the processing of the spooled file  
data.
