Macro triggers are not resolved in a datalines block. Use individual put statements instead:

data _null_;
file in;
put;
put "{";
put '"rclcId": '"&val,";
put '"rclcEndDate": '"%sysfunc(datetime()),";
put "}";
run;

Tell us what you have, and what you want.  You can't use macro after the time the macro processor has been through:
macro processor runs

data compiler runs  < - at this point macro will not work.
