Sure - each string operation of the sort you are doing uses up space
in a temporary array which is quite possibly also used by other
things.  There is a command called CLRTEMP which you can issue which
resets that pointer but might also lose the loop counter or
something.

We have procs for this sort of thing:

run wrtprocs

defines

fitdisk
wrtdisk
readisk

You probably want wrtdisk.
