The where condition(in red color) needs to be modified for each table.
Eg: where ethnicity="Hispanic"
\end{question}
your problem is that you want to pass a string with an equals sign in it
as a parameter.
change from special character (=) to mnemonic (eq)
%macro eye (eye=,dat=, id=,cond1=);
%put &=cond1;
* ... where &cond1;
run;
%mend;
%eye(eye=,dat=,id=
,cond1=ethnicity eq 'Hispanic');
Look at using the %quote(....) macro function to enclose your data-passed WHERE logic.

Yes, I asked a similar question a few weeks ago and it seems to work fine. I didn't have to mask anything.

There is no need to change the parameter DEFINITIONS from positional to named, you can call position parameters by name.
%eye(eye=varx='blue')
You can also add () which should not impact the where clause.
