I am using "mtxrun | ConTeXt TDS Runner Tool 1.31"

In real life I get documents that have long blank lines which are a sequence of underscore characters. I have to transcribe these into ConTeXt file. But when compiled into a pdf file the long resulting rule line infringes on the right boundary.

What can I do, to get ConTeXt to maintain the boundary and display the lines as intended?

You have to insert \hskip0pt between two underscores (otherwise ConTeXt cannot know where to break the line). Your sample should read: \starttext DATE: _\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_, 20_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_, at _\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt, _\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_ city_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_\hskip0pt_ \ state --------------\ country. 1.
