I don't know the SCO Openserver in detail.
But this problem is common to most if not all Unix.
There is a kernel memory access device like /dev/kmem, or a special /proc filesystem that provides access to some selected kernel memory.
Usually the process args are fully known only to the process itself,
while the kernel maintains a common area of all process args that is limited to usually 80 characters.
The ps command accesses the common kernel area, therefore the truncation.
The Solaris OS has "/usr/ucb/ps axww" that (with root rights) visits each process's private memory to provide full args.

MEM(4) Linux Programmer's Manual MEM(4)
NAME
mem, kmem, port - system memory, kernel memory and system ports
DESCRIPTION
/dev/mem is a character device file that is an image of the main memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine (and even
patch) the system.
Byte addresses in /dev/mem are interpreted as physical memory addresses. References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned.
Examining and patching is likely to lead to unexpected results when read-only or write-only bits are present.
Since Linux 2.6.26, and depending on the architecture, the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM kernel configuration option limits the areas which can be
accessed through this file. For example: on x86, RAM access is not allowed but accessing memory-mapped PCI regions is.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/mem c 1 1
chown root:kmem /dev/mem
The file /dev/kmem is the same as /dev/mem, except that the kernel virtual memory rather than physical memory is accessed. Since Linux
2.6.26, this file is available only if the CONFIG_DEVKMEM kernel configuration option is enabled.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 640 /dev/kmem c 1 2
chown root:kmem /dev/kmem
/dev/port is similar to /dev/mem, but the I/O ports are accessed.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/port c 1 4
chown root:kmem /dev/port
FILES
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/port
