What benefit do you see of creating a macro for this ?
 
When you say "macro", do you mean a program?

What are the inputs, and what output do you want

What is a "Chain curve"? Do you mean a catenary?
 
suppose i need to create a rectangle so the input will length and breath and the out put should a sketch drawn
 
The term "macro" has a very specific meaning in NX. You may be able to use a macro to create a sketch based on user input; I'm not sure, I've never tried. However, if you are able to use a journal or UGOpen program, you should look at the "SketchShape" example provided with your NX install.
