It is difficult to know exactly what your macro is designed to do from the
information you provide.  If we suppose you want to do a series of
instructions on the currently selected image, one strategy is to start
recording your macro sequence with an Image | Rename command and then rename
the image something like TestImage.  This will produce a macro line like:
rename("TestImage");

This will rename any selected image to a common name before preforming the
macro sequence and assures any macro commands doing a named reference will
"know" what your image window is called.  A more sophisticated approach is
to assign the current image name to a variable, but this will take learning
a little bit about programming.  If you need a more specific answer, you
need to provide us with your macro code.
