It does here.
Tell us a bit about which OS and shell you are using,
along with what you put in your FILE,foo and abc variables.

eric@lw:~ (1)> exec /bin/sh
$ foo="/etc/passwd"
$ abc="10"
$ FILE="/home/eric/bar"
$ echo "$foo $abc" > $FILE
$ cat /home/eric/bar
/etc/passwd 10
$ uname -a
SunOS lw 5.11 snv_18 i86pc i386 i86pc
Works fine here. Could you post the exact commands/variables
you are trying?
