contains the text of the footnote definition,
or a blank if the footnote is not defined.

is the number (1 to 10) of the footnote

Use GETFOOT to retrieve any footnote text that was previously
defined in the SAS session by either the FOOTNOTE statement or the SCL SETFOOT
routine. Only the footnote text is retrieved. Graphic options such as color
or font are not returned.
You can view footnotes in the FOOTNOTES window by using
the FOOTNOTE command. Changing any text in the FOOTNOTES window, however,
resets all graphically defined FOOTNOTE options, such as color, font, and
position.

SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.

Store the text of FOOTNOTE2 in the variable FNOTE2:
fnote2=getfoot(2);
