I concur. AA's CRS cannot issue more than 16 segments. But SABRE (ironically part of AA) can. All you need to do is to have a SABRE accessed agency take over your booking. (They can just 'takeover' electronically over their CRS) and issue your ticket if it is less than 24 segments.

But I did exactly this !! I had American Express Travel Canada take over the record from AA RTW, and they couldn't issue it because it was over 16. After hours on the phone with them, they gave the file back to AA RTW and I drove to the airport to get it ticketed (last day prior to fare increase). Amex wanted $100 in handwritting fees, and could not "write" the ticket on time for the lower fare to take effect.
