I am curious how this ever worked? I have never seen a macro that starts with a case statement.

The SQL Reference manual says the syntax of a replace macro is:

Replace macro (Parameters)
As ( statement; statement; ... )

The manual further goes on to say that "statement" is an SQL statement.

Your macro starts with a CASE statement which is not an SQL Statement. Case can be used as part of a statement but not a statement in its own right.

This seems to be confirmed by the error message you are getting. When it says "something expected between (and case" I think what is expected is a DML statement such as "DELETE" or "SELECT" etc.

Perhaps you could rewrite your delete like this:

DELETE TGOPWKLSTV1
    WHERE NI_CKTID     = :ni_cktid
     AND  ((CKT_SUBD_NO  IS NULL and :ckt_subd_no is null) OR (CKT_SUBD_NO = :ckt_subd_no))
     AND  CKT_DATE     = :ckt_date
     AND  CKT_TIME     = :ckt_time
;

Hope this helps
