It is not clear, what you are doing.
However, there is couple of places which look like just misprints. For
example, the following modification of your code does work:
%MACRO PRNTRPT;
%GLOBAL new;
DATA _NULL_;
LENGTH VAR1 VAR2 VAR3 $3;
%DO J = 1 %TO 3;
VAR&J= "1" || TRIM(LEFT(&J));
%let new = VAR1;
%END;
RUN;
%PUT _USER_;
%PUT "THE VALUE OF new IS " &new;
%mend;
%PRNTRPT;
