Detailed Description

Creates a text file of up to 10 lines. If further lines are desired, feel free to create an issue, or make a pull request!

The use of PARMBUFF was considered for this macro, but it would have made things problematic for writing lines containing commas.

Usage:

%mf_writefile(&sasjswork/myfile.txt,l1=some content,l2=more content)
data _null_;
  infile "&sasjswork/myfile.txt";
  input;
  list;
run;

Parameters

[in]	fpath	Full path to file to be created or appended to
[in]	mode=	(O) Available options are A or O as follows: A APPEND mode, writes new records after the current end of the file. O OUTPUT mode, writes new records from the beginning of the file.
[in]	l1=	() First line
[in]	l2=	() Second line (etc through to l10)
