The reason why you get "line too long" is because when you unset the record separator like this: RS="" then you have told awk to separate records with blank lines. If there are no blank lines then the whole file is treated as a single record.

Try...
Code:
awk 'BEGIN {
  FS="=";
}
$1 != prev
{prev = $1}' filename | paste -d ' ' - -

Tested on the sample data...

OBJECT="ABC" GFT="JHU" DESCRIPTION="ABC MNCL JHDG "
