Puriddu,
I've been reading the online docs as of late because I want to venture into customizing UG beyond what is possible with GRIP. I'm by no means an expert, but I did recall reading in the docs that macro support via a general motif call is NOT supported <Online docs: Open, Open API Programs, Types of executables, Internal>. You can however call Grip programs...
Sorry I couldn't of been more help.

What I have done in the past is made macro call grip. This gave a little more control and variables to macros.

Try using User Tools with macros. A macro that will lunch a utd and then stops. From the utd, you can launch other macros that may run grips then re-launch utd. This combination may work for you.
