I got it working. The Format Code '(Z)' was not the right choice. Instead I should've used '(A)' just to transfer character data. This now gives me the proper strings and written into a file correctly. Guess it just took a little bit of trial and error.

Thanks for the help. And David, the Coyote webpage is great, better than any language tutorial and resource location I've used. Keep it going

Thanks again
