It doesn't work if the %global statement is after the creation of the
mv.

I can do it in two time,... it's not very nice... I'd prefered in one
time

%macro mpTest ;

data _null_  ;
  set WORK.TEST ;
  call symput("mvOBS" ,_n_) ;
end ;

%do i = 1 %to &mvOBS ;
  %global  mvSERVSAS&i ;
%end ;

data _null_ ;
        set WORK.TEST ;
        call symput("mvSERVSAS" !! left(put(_n_,3.)) , MAVAR ) ;
run ;

%mend ;
