As far as I can tell, this will create huge strings with the complete
result set, as they are declared outside the loop (actually twice the
result set because one for the out_Record and one for the in_record).

Actually 4-fold, since at the end he does:

log += out_record + in_record;
//out.print(st);
out.print(log);

Just changing this will save 50% memory:

Actually even more than that, because all the intermediate strings are there from each iteration. Given n iterations, aren't there O(n^2) Strings generated?
