Close your SAS studio and resubmit your code. The errors in your code don't seem to be coming from your code but something that Studio does automatically. So please close studio completely and retry your code.

Also check your code for typos like % sign from macro and mend keyword is missing. Also semicolon is missing from title statement.

AS I HAVE TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES, FIRST YOU HAVE TO WRITE A SIMPLE CODE OUTSIDE OF MACRO AND MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THEN TRY TO GENERALIZE IT BY ENCAPSULATING IT BETWEEN %MACRO AND %MEND.
