Is it necessary to save the data in plain ascii. If not try
save,file='data_file.sav',data_varisble

Limitatations for ASCII.

A string length is only 32767 signs.
If you like to make a formatted output it's only possible to format at
once 1024 values.
Always if you use format the data is handled as string.
