Answer / yuyin
a=123;
call symput("x",a);
a is a variable, 123 is the value of variable a, x is macro
variable, symput will assign 123 to macro variable x.

Answer / saurabh gupta
If we need a value of a macro variable then we must define
it in such terms so that we can call them everywhere in the
program.
Define it as Global. There are different ways of assigning
a global variable.
Simplest method is
%LET

Answer / yuyin
a is macro variable. use following statment to assign the
value of a rather than the variable itself
e.g.
%let a=xyz
x="&a";
this will assign "xyz" to x, not the variable xyz to x
