OTOH, why not consider changing you macro syntax to something like USERS=(T045022,T046726,T047542,T056131,... And then is should be fairly trivial to separate out the sub-operands of &USERS (&USERS(&SUB) as I recall) and loop based on the number of sub-operands (N'&USERS as I recall).
Even if the "separate by blanks" format is used, you can still parse them out (assuming that all the IDs are 7 bytes long) by just using as sub-string type operation. All that is needed is to first do a sanity check of the length to see that it is one byte shorter than an multiple of 8 (that length+1/8 gives you your loop count).
