OR this should do it.. I think this should work..

%macro cnt_inv(tbl=, vr=, st=, part= , ds=);
PROC SQL;
create table &tbl. as
select count(*) as &vr. from &ds.
where com in (&st. , &part.)
group by userid ;
quit;
%mend cnt_inv;

There should not be any period after the name of the macro..

like &UID not &UID.

Where you need to use period after &CUT in the below example.

C:\ ...\&CUT..xls
