Having problems again with Sequential file Write

[DARKNIGHT]

Hey All,

Having A new problem, when the program I am working on now, tries to write a line of data to a sequential file. it is just lumping the next entry right onto the prior one. I use a trailing Colon on the end of the write statement also.

 the problem is in the Entry Reg. the other separate file works fine. it is used to search for a full name,

and  the entries in the registry file are for searches by Last name and ID#

here is what the Data file looks like when I open it with note Pad to view its contents:Note this is just test data obviously

Hyatt,Alice,Joan,2654
Hyatt,Thomas,Wayne,2655
Jones,James,Michael,2656
Smith,John,Adam,2657
Taylor,Robert,Edward,1465
Thorton,Billy,Bob,6543Burns,George,Allan,2854

you can see what happened when I made my last entry. George Burns and Billy Bob Thornton Had a little Run in 

and here is the sub causing the problem:

[Add_New]
mainwin 180 80
cls
locate 6,8:print" LAST FIRST MID USER ID #"
locate 6,9:print"|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|"
locate 6,11:print"|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|"
locate 10,10:input"";L$
if L$="" then [MMenu]
locate 28,10:input"";F$
locate 49,10:input"";M$
locate 66,10:input"";UID

rem * Write Data To a separate file other then the Registry  *
open L$;",";F$;",";M$ for output as #1
print #1,L$;",";F$;",";M$;",";UID;
close #1

rem * write Data to register file
open"EntryReg" for Append as #3
print #3,L$;",";F$;",";M$;",";UID;
close #3
notice"RECORD STATUS"+chr$(13)+"RECORD HAS BEEN SAVED"

You need to leave the last trailing semicolon off. So UID not UID;

That way a CRLF pair will be added by default and cause a line feed.
So next time the data line will be broken correctly.
