The "actual problem" is you're probably not old enough to have acquired the capability to automatically perform formatting conversions in your head like some of us oldtimers.

There's nothing wrong with your map. You're not getting "junk" data. The map is outputting EBCDIC as you told it to. View the output file on an EBCDIC computer and it appears as expected: "G0198HC 2d 1234 hello test MF". ALternately, you can open the file in an editor like UltraEdit and convert it from EBCDIC to ASCII. Or use an online converter like http://www.pacsys.com/ebccnv.htm.
