I'm not sure what you mean by multiple print
statements - I guess you are using the print output
then?  

You certainly can export a selected record any number
of times.  I have seen it done the way you show above,
but I don't use that approach.  Here is how I would do
it:

::ct="1":
loop:::
:ct gt "2":goto fini:
::export WORD exp=(of):
::exp(1)=1; exp(2)=2; write exp:
::ct=ct+"1"; goto loop:
fini::end:

Good Luck.
