Move and Rename a File by Appending to the Variable Name

That's not a macro it's an isolated action.

Macros contain many moving parts, and some of them are hidden. Sometimes those hidden bits are the key(s) to troubleshooting a problem.

So... It's generally best to post the simplest possible test macro that demonstrates the problem you're having, and when possible a macro that doesn't require specialized software to run.

The easier you make it for others to test your work the more likely you'll get timely and useful assistance.

It's a good practice to test and eyeball a benign result when working with shell scripts and things like KM's move, copy, and anything else that requires a path.
