No. 

You can send back macro variable values using %sysrput().  You can transfer datasets or files using PROC UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD. There are ways to share libraries.

You could make another connection back to your machine (if it allows that) so that your process becomes Machine A connects to Machine B which connects to a new process on machine A.  But you will probably get your brain twisted into a knot figuring out how to write the code.

Best is probably to just break the process into smaller pieces.  Part A runs remotely.  Part B runs locally. Part C runs remotely.
