Drop the semicolons in your arguments like this
%macro test(s_no=
,libname1 =
,libname2 =
,libname3 =
,libname4 =
);
libname inputt "&libname1";
libname interim "&libname2";
libname output "&libname3";
libname dataa "&libname4 ";
%mend test;
%test(
s_no = 1234
,libname1 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\input
,libname2 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\interim
,libname3 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\output
,libname4 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\test
);

Omit the semicolons after the macro parameters. Those semicolons otherwise end up as part of the directory names.
%macro test(s_no=
,libname1 =
,libname2 =
,libname3 =
,libname4 =
);
libname inputt "&libname1";
libname interim "&libname2";
libname output "&libname3";
libname dataa "&libname4";
%mend test;
%test(
s_no=1234
,libname1 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\input
,libname2 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\interim
,libname3 = C:\Users\abc\Desktop\output
,libname4 =C:\Users\abc\Desktop\test
