You should not use addresses 0 or 1 when you are using data files
(accessed through the OPEN, CKOUT, etc. calls).  Choose a number from
2-14 instead.  For instance, LDY #3 would work great above.

You have the above routines called in the wrong order.  You should call
CLRCHN first to flush the last characters to the disk and shut down the
communication channel, then you can CLOSE it.
