Hi,    (answering to myself)

Finally, I was mistaken...
At the beginning, I thought that when we was recovering from a (soft or 
hard) error state, we would receive the macro
$HOSTSTATETYPE$ = "HARD" (because the state is now a "HARD" UP).

But after some testing, I realized that the event actually receive 
$HOSTSTATETYPE$ = "SOFT" when recovering
from a SOFT state, and $HOSTSTATETYPE$ = "HARD" when recovering from a 
HARD state !!

So, everything is OK now !!
I don't need any other macro !

Thanks,
Philippe Ferreira.
