It doesn't appear that I can use both CREATE and WRITE in the same BINFILE COMMAND. Am I doing something wrong? Should this work?

I assume LOG.TXT is purely an example as TXT files generally aren't binary.

Edit your first line to read "BINFILE OPEN, 1, @path(%0)log.txt,CREATE" to create and open the LOG.TXT file, then use your BINFILE WRITE statement to write to it.

If LOG.TXT already exists, don't use CREATE.

The VDS Help instruction "BINFILE OPEN,<file_id>,<filename>,READ|WRITE|CREATE" means you can use READ or WRITE or CREATE as a mode. (You can open a binary file to Read it, open a binary file to Write to it, or open a binary file to Create it if it doesn't exist.) You can't use more than one mode when OPENing.

Hope this helps.

Well color me dumb. Thanks!
