File creation questions

I am using *CRTF as a compiler option - and my program does an OPEN OUTPUT TextFile
1) How do I specify both the library is which I want the file created AND the file name itself? I coded my SELECT statement as.... 
            SELECT TextFile
                    ASSIGN TO DISK-ASN001

The created the file in the QTEMP library.
I tried to code the SELECT as.......
            SELECT TextFile
                    ASSIGN TO DISK-UAVPROFL-ASN001
But the compiler stripped off the -ASN001
2) How do I specify *NOMAX for the file being created? If I don't, my program errors out when the maximum number of records has been written... 

THANKS for all the help!!
