+/**
+  @file
+  @brief Creates a text file using pure macro
+  @details Creates a text file of up to 10 lines.  If further lines are
+    desired, feel free to [create an issue](
+    https://github.com/sasjs/core/issues/new), 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;
+
+  @param [in] fpath Full path to file to be created or appended to
+  @param [in] mode= (O) Available options are A or O as follows:
+    @li A APPEND mode, writes new records after the current end of the file.
+    @li O OUTPUT mode, writes new records from the beginning of the file.
+  @param [in] l1= First line
+  @param [in] l2= Second line (etc through to l10)
