Over 16 segments it will have to be hand written.
Let me rephrase that.

Travel agents' SABRE *can* handle over 16 segments. It may issue tickets automatically up to 24 segments. It is only on the AA's airline CRS, (although powered by SABRE isn't called SABRE anymore...) that they can only handle up to 16 segments for ticketing.
