I am trying to export each ticker in a dataset and its corresponding technical value to the debug window. I can get the technical value printed, but I also want to see the ticker. What do I need to do to get each symbol executed?

i'm still missing something, the symbol is always the first symbol in the dataset, but the values are for each symbol in the dataset.

That's right, because you programmed it exactly this way:

Since n is a constant (0), you'll get the value for the DataSetSymbol #0 i.e. the very first symbol.
You may want to take a look at the QuickRef entry for DataSetSymbols.
