LOCAL  --> GLOBAL

%global global_loc;

%let loc=10;
%let global_loc=&loc;
%mend;

%a

%put &global_loc;

small query is there any thing that we can convert global to local macros

Sure. You can't force global macro variable to be local, but you can pass the value of gloale to local.

%global global_loc;
%let global_loc=Merry_Christmas;


%macro a;
%let loc=&global_loc;
%put &loc;
%mend;

%a
