Tadeusz,
You have several problems in your macro. See comments inside.

Note that you do not need all these statements. You can directly do
page->cd(1); // now gPad points to the current pad

You should check here against h=NULL. Very likely hname as encoded
in your sprintf does not exist in the file. CINT correctly generates
the diagnostic below.

A statement like f.pwd() prints the name of the directory f,
not the name of of subdirectory in f where you may be.
If you want to print the name of your current directory, do
gDirectory->pwd();
