Error running large script

I'm trying to develop a script to create a large amount of firewall policies but I'm getting the error "Broken Pipe" when the script is larger than ~260kb. To send the script, I'm using a library available with my programming language to open a ssh connection and send the commands but the connection is broken immediately when the command is larger than those ~260kb.

I'm testing against FortiWiFi-60D v5.2.3.

Any idea of what may be happening? Thanks a lot.

Are you sure it's the script or the size? If you cut the script down in half and execute partA and then partB does it work? Do you have compression enabled ? ( if yes try turning it off ) and the same for the option TcpKA? ( enable it or disable it and see if the output changes )

I never seen scripts that big, but have create in excess of 3K objects and addrgrp and never had errors using bash or piping thru ssh and various ssh clients seems to be better or less ( i.e OpenSSH )
