Crontab question

[KRASTEV Zdravko]

Dear list,
 
I'm trying to adapt some HP-UX scripts for Linux RH AS 3. (Taroon).
In some scripts we are automatically generating user's crontab files
using the syntax:
crontab <filename>
It seems that there is a limitation for the length of the <filename>.
Crontab ignores everything longer that 100 chars. (tried with bash and
ksh - no difference) with error: File not found.
The cron RPM is vixie-cron-3.0.1-75.1
Does someone know how to solve this issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Zdravko
