 Above macro not resolve how get correct the code 

[Patrick · Accepted solution]

The SAS compiler will interpret the & in &Harrry as a macro token unless you instruct the compile to just treat it as a string.

options symbolgen mlogic mprint ;
%let x = %nrstr(Tom&Harry);
%put &x;

or even this way

options symbolgen mlogic mprint ;
%let x = Tom%nrstr(&)Harry;
%put &x;
