[Description]
  Macro(macroname|arg1|arg2...): Executes a macro using the context
'macro-<macroname>', jumping to the 's' extension of that context and
executing each step, then returning when the steps end. 
The calling extension, context, and priority are stored in ${MACRO_EXTEN}, 
${MACRO_CONTEXT} and ${MACRO_PRIORITY} respectively.  Arguments become
${ARG1}, ${ARG2}, etc in the macro context.

So use ${MACRO_CONTEXT} .
