Problem Note 58357: A %GLOBAL statement with the READONLY option can generate a traceback error
The following error messages might be generated when you use a macro quoting function in a %GLOBAL statement that includes the READONLY option:
ERROR: An exception has been encountered.

This problem is most likely to occur when the %GLOBAL statement is inside a macro definition.
The following example code generates the error messages above:
%macro test;
options mlogic;
%global / readonly test_3 = %qcmpres(%nrstr(a;));
%put This is test_3: %superq(test_3);
%mend test;
%test;
To circumvent the problem, move the %GLOBAL statement outside of the macro definition.
