If you're trying to call a macro from within a data step and use values from the data step then you need to use call execute instead of %.

See the second example.

In general, create a text string that has the %_cuts(...) and then pass that to call execute.

The error message is saying that the macro that is being called is not defined.

Is this code you wrote yourself?  Where is the code that defines the macro?
