I'm hoping you have access to help files and can look up Put. Its
behavior with variable length strings varies according to whether they
are in a UDT, and whether the file is opened Random or Binary.

As far as I can tell, Put will write a 2 byte length before writing a
variable length string to a file opened Random (UDT or not), which
allows Get to retrieve it correctly. The total record length would have
to be long enough for that. I don't believe you actually have to pad out
the string length unless you want to.
