Do you have some code to show what you are trying to do?

Its about threads...

Code:

THREADS EQU 255

threads_program PROC
   LOCAL things[THREADS]:THING_INFO

   ....

threads_program ENDP

But i need to make THREADS a variable not a constant.

You will have to allocate the stack dynamically at runtime. The assembler can't do that for you.

Code:

mov eax,[THREADS]
imul eax,sizeof.THING_INFO
sub esp,eax
mov ebx,esp  ;ebx is the address of the 'things' structure

And don't forget to restore the stack pointer before you exit the procedure.
