This is a follow up question to one posted on Feb. 5. I did not know how to follow-up that thread, hence this new question.

I have updated test bench attached. It contains $fwrite etc. as suggested. Now getting warning:

file/Multi-channel descriptor (2) passed to $fclose in not valid

The AA2.txt file is empty. Used $fwrite (instead of $fmonitor) and it works but with same warning. Should I just ignore the warning ? I also tried to use "reset" (SEE CODE) based on the status of a DUT output signal (negedge ASM_FLAG) which goes from 1 to 0 at the end of simulation, to stop writing to file, but reset is always 1 so no output. It seems like the simulation has not started. Can you explain?

You keep closing the file on every CLK posedge in the always block. Don't do that. In your case, there is no need to even call $fclose because it will be closed when the simulation terminates.
