Format your code and you will note where additional things are not needed.  The cause of your issue is that the macro call is not finished with a ; - always ensure you finish things correctly, end of statemetns with semi colon, end of macro variables with a dot etc.

input rptinput $;

Report1

run;

proc sql noprint;
  select distinct rptinput
  into :REPORT separated by ''
  from test;
quit;

%macro condtest;
  proc sql;
  %if "&report." eq "Report1" %then %do;
    select * from Sashelp.shoes;
  %end;
  %else %if "&report." eq "Report2" %then %do;
    select * from Sashelp.cars;
  %end;
quit; %mend condtest; %condtest;
