Predefined macros is not working at Web report studio

I have a problem with the predefined macros. I create a stored process that contain predefined macros (_USERNAME). I want to get username from the user. Here is my code :

%global _USERNAME usernames;

libname test "*(libref location)";

%stpbegin;

DATA test.UsernameData;

username="&_USERNAME";

RUN;

DATA _NULL_;

SET test.UsernameData;

call symput("usernames",username);

RUN;

%stpend;

When I access it by using SASStoredProcess/do , the stored process is working. Then I try to make a report by using web report studio. First, I create information map and import the stored process to it. Then I create new data item, that will stored the usernames from test.UsernameData.

I create new web report studio and using the information that I just created. I try to show whether web report studio show the its username or not like in SASStoredProcess/do. The result is empty string.

Is it the macros is not working in web report studio?

Hopefully, anyone could help me to solve the problem. Thank You.
