as noted, you're mixing and matching
we can't guess what you are thinking
other than the note you want to write to the log.
so:
%Let New =;*initialize;
%MACRO PrntRpt(GlobalMvar = new
,Dim_J = 3);
%global &GlobalMvar.;
%local J;
%do J = 1 %to &Dim_J.;
%Let &GlobalMvar. =1&J.;%*macro concatenation;
%end;
%Mend;
