Your input to OUTFIL is 262 bytes long. You are referencing 1,255. Do the maths.
Why are you starting from position 5 for your "number"?
With your INREC FIELDS (please use BUILD) you put 255 bytes from start position 65, then 7 from 679 for your number.
Why are you starting the OUTREC (please, make it BUILD) at position 5? Start it at 1, the default, so you don't have to specify, then start the 255 field just at the next available position.
