This doesn't do what you think it's doing, you need to use %EVAL() here to get the value you need, you can test it with the following:

%let n=5;
%let id1=&n+1;
%put &id1.;

So your code should likely be:

%let id1=%eval(&n+1);

Your whole approach is likely to be problematic. Doing remote SUBMITs to multiple SAS sessions inside a macro means that you are spreading your macro logic across all those sessions and hoping it all synchronises OK, even though all of those "child" sessions are not aware they are embedded in a macro that is defined only in the primary SAS session.

A better approach would be to use the DATA step CALL EXECUTE to generate your required statements in open SAS code, rather than contained inside a SAS macro.
