Oh oops, copied from the original code without looking
Should be "put", not "%put"

Thanks to Ya Huang for the catch

If you're having issues with the actual &&IF&I part instead, provide
more detail.

Subject: Export Contents of Macro Variables

Hi All-

In a UNIX environment, I wish to write the contents of macro variable
out to a text file.

The macro variables are indexed and I am accessing them as:

%DO I=1 %TO &firstCounter;
            %put &&IF&I;
%end;

Is it possible to loop through them and write the value to a text file?
Each  &&IF&I contains a string.

Thanks!
