Bit of a drag but below should do the job and clean after too:

 

data have;
	input q1-q5;
	datalines;
200 200 200 200 200
200 100 .   200 200
200 200 100 100 200
100 100 200 200 200
;
run;

%macro test;

%macro _;
%mend _;

%local i j;

%do i = 1 %to 5; /* or 16 */

	data q&i._;
		set have (keep=q&i.);
		n_ = n(q&i.);

		if q&i. >= 200 then
			s_ =1;
		else s_= 0;
	run;

	proc sql;
		create table q&i. as
			select "q&i." as ques,
				sum(n_) as n,
				sum(s_) as s
			from q&i._;
	quit;

%end;

data want;
	set

		%do j = 1 %to 5;
			q&j.
		%end;
	;
run;

proc datasets lib=work nodetails nolist;
	delete q:;
run;

quit;

%mend;

%test

No need for macro-code:

data transposed;
   set have;
   
   length question $ 2 success 8;
   
   array questions[5] q1-q5;
   
   do i = 1 to dim(questions);
      if not missing(questions[i]) then do;
         question = vname(questions[i]);
         success = (questions[i] = 200);
         output;
      end;
   end;
   
   drop q1-q5 i;
run;

proc summary data=transposed nway;
   class question;
   var success;
   output out=want(drop= _type_ _freq_) n= total sum=success;
run;
